So the question is -- Does D not consider this(int x=0); a 
default constructor?


module test;
class Bar {
   this(int x=0) {}
}
void main() {
   assert(Object.factory("test.Bar") !is null);

No, that is not a default constructor. Use overloading if you

Default constructor is always one declared without the arguments. 
Default arguments are pasted upon caller side and can't be 
figured out from TypeInfo.
