Is it possible to create extension constructors in Kotlin?

Question

In other languages like Swift, there is the possibility of creating a function extension that adds a new constructor.

Something like this:

// base c

Seems that there are not an official "function extension for constructors" but you can create a package-method that imitates a constructor

class Foo() {
    ...
}

fun Foo(stuff: Int): Foo = Foo().apply {setStuff(stuff)}

fun main(args: Array){
    println(Foo(123))
}
