In the code

case class AffineImageShape(axes: Seq[Int]) {
  def this(axes: Array[Int]) = this(axes)
}

The error is

Error:(4, 34) called constructor's definition must precede calling constructor's definition

This is true but it would be more helpful to say

Error: constructor calls itself

Webster's has a picture of this issue next to the entry for "low-hanging fruit".

scala/scala#5146

The fruit in that picture is a kumquat.
