Is there a way to get this kind of behavior in D?

class Complex {
        private double re,im;
        this() { this(r); }
        this(double r) { this(r,0); }
        this(double r,double i) { re=r; im=i; }
}

void main() {
        Complex x = new Complex();
        x=4; //this
        x=cast(Complex)4; //or maybe even this
}

I know it can be done explicitly calling the appropiate constructor, but I'd
like to also do it like this.

At the moment there isn't a way, but perhaps this should be dealt with.
