class SubEnv(val parent: Env)

Is there a nice way to make sub() the only possible way to construct a SubEnv instance? Making the constructor of SubEnv private isn't allowed. Making SubEnv an inner class doesn't help either, you're still not allowed to make the constructor private.

Make SubEnv an interface or sealed baseclass and make SubEnvImpl private
