Treat Java's of convention the same Scala's apply

[dhinojosa]

It would be great to leave out any calls to of in the Java API much like we do with apply.

Whereas

Foo.apply(13)

is the same as

Foo(13)

it would be great to include the Java convention

LocalDate.of(2021, 3, 12)

to

LocalDate(2021, 3, 12)

Advantage - Consistency in creational patterns with no regard to either Java or Scala. Everything looks like a smart constructor
Disadvantage - I assume there would be compiler complexity in scanning.

If I remember correctly, Java's apply is not treated as Scala's apply either.

If I'm right, I would suggest to add Java's apply to this suggestion.
