One problem I encountered is that I can't distinguish between a default
constructor that doesn't need to exist, and one that was disabled
because of other constructors. Consider:

class A {}
class B { this(int) {} }

You can evaluate "new A" but not "new B". So it's legit to create
objects of type A all default-initialized. But the pointer to
constructor stored in A.classinfo is null, same as B.

Any ideas?

How about this:

static if (is(typeof({
                auto t = new T;
        })))
