Hi, is it possible to add an external secondary constructor for a class ?

I have a `typealias AABB = Rectangle` with an external "constructor" `fun Rectangle(x: Int = 0, y: Int = 0, width: Int = 0, height = 0) = ...` but it's not present on the type AABB, I also tested with `fun Rectangle.invoke(x: Int ...` but it still doesn't work, is it possible ?

If the class has a companion object, then you can make an extension on the companion which looks like a constructor: `fun Rectangle.Companion.invoke(...): Rectangle`

You can just make a to level `fun Rectangle(...)` (or `fun AABB(...)`)

Oh yes the `invoke` has to be on the Companion object, it kinda works, as I can't directly do `val a = AABB()` but `val a = AABB.invoke()`

I just forgot `operator`, it works thanks x)

`fun` with similar name, suggested by <@U10EJRH2L> is more flexible solution in this case
