Yes, I think we can add an option to generate this c-tor in addition
to the ones already there.

Yes, that's the reason default c-tors are not generate for some types.

I don't see a reason why we can't have an option to always generate
default c-tors for types.

I can add these two options and build you a binary. Just let me know which
platform(s)/package(s) you use.
