Did you have a look at haXe enums ? http://haxe.org/ref#the_power_of_enum > 2) Have methods which are not attached to specific class instances.

Removing the ability to create private constructors seems completely pointless. The rational behind it seems a bit like "you don't need that", which is not a very strong point IMHO.
