I think there is a bigger problem at stake here in terms of 
software architecture.

What's the point needed for them to have the same identifier?

Clearly the two classes will have two different functions and 
should be named accordingly.

Ex.

class X { ... }

class X(int N) { ... }

Could be something like:

class X { ... }

class XWithArguments { ... }

There is absolutely no point of them having same identifiers 
unless they did the exact same thing and in that case you'd 
probably just not want this anyway.

A solution to this would be something like:

interface X { }

class XWithoutArguments : X { }

class XWithArguments : X { }
