No, wait, that can't be right.  Since it is just the object that is 
returned when looking up a class constructor, it seems like it could be 
a value object instead of a function, unless there are reasons for it to 
behave more like a function.

In any case, things might be clearer if the fcn_info object used a name 
like classdef_meta_info instead of class_constructors, since I think 
that map doesn't actually contain the constructor functions themselves.
