Annotating the primary constructor is already possible, have a look at the Scala specification, chapter 5.3

class A @throws(classOf[java.io.IOException]) ()

case class B @throws(classOf[java.io.IOException]) (i: Int)

I'm sorry I didn't figure that out. I realize I shouldn't be relying too much on anything but the spec, but it'd be nice if an example of this syntax could be added to http://www.scala-lang.org/node/106 . The existing examples all put the annotation on a line by itself (which I did try) but it doesn't parse.
