object M {
    class C (val x: Int, val y: Int = 5)
}

class N(val x: Int, val y: Int = 5)

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val p = N(3)
    val q = (M::C)(3)
}

Why is there a syntax error in the val q = line ?

[Lucas Ł]

the correct syntax for that line, would be
val q = M.C(3)

As to why, I assume that the (a)(b) syntax, means that you are trying to cast b to a. Not sure about that though 🙂
