It's never worked. The error message is wrong.
Well, that syntax should work with other member functions. So,
I would guess that the compiler is just giving the same error
message that it normally gives when this happens with member
functions, whereas since it doesn't work with constructors, it
really should have a different error message, but it doesn't.
Simple fix to not suggest alias when its a hidden constructor:
