Does solidity support overloading of constructors?

Question

I know that different functions can have the same name but take different parameters. For instance, the truffle assert library has equalities and inequalities on lots of datatypes. But I just tried to do the same for a constructor and got a compiler complaint. I'd like to be able to say

contract Foo { function Foo (uint onearg) { return Foo(onearg, 2); } function Foo (uint onearg, uint secondarg) { ... do the real work ... } }

No, from the docs, "A constructor is optional. Only one constructor is allowed, and this means overloading is not supported."
