Bug description

Currently, only a longident can be placed after the "new" keyword. This kind of restriction has been relaxed for several other piece of syntaxes (+ a check before typechecking). It would be useful to allow expressions there.

Initial motivation can be found here: ocsigen/js_of_ocaml#239 (comment)

(I just realized there is no "OCaml syntax/parser" category in mantis)
