Mark the local for this as used if a constructor call needs type variables.

Maybe also add corner cases like doing it in a constructor/factory/static
methods.

 
 class A<T> {
-  static int method() {
-    var foo = new T(); // error, can't reference a type variable in a static context
+  foo() {
+    g() {
+      return new A<T>();
+    }
+    return g();
   }
 }
 
 main() {
-   A.method(); 
+  Expect.isTrue(new A<int>().foo() is A<int>);
 }
