Is there an ergonomic way to make constructors file-visible only?

Context: I want to control the creation of several classes which represent intermediate steps in a process and I don't want users of this API able to skip steps by creating the corresponding class via constructor. Problem is that definition and usage happens in the same module, so `internal` does not work here.

Probably just make the constructor private then, maybe expose an appropriate factory method in the companion object
