Calling [`Error.captureStackTrace(…)`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Error/captureStackTrace) inside the constructor of a built-in `Error` subclass is unnecessary, since the `Error` constructor calls it automatically.

## Examples

```js
// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace(this, MyError);
	}
}
```

```js
// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace?.(this, MyError);
	}
}
```

```js
// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace(this, this.constructor);
	}
}
```

```js
// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace?.(this, this.constructor);
	}
}
```

```js
// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace(this, new.target);
	}
}
```

```js
// ❌
class MyError extends Error {
	constructor() {
		Error.captureStackTrace?.(this, new.target);
	}
}
```
