I suspect he meant "mutually disjoint", i.e. have no arguments in common,
which is a distinct possibility. To me that sounds like a good argument 
for excluding constructors from interface definitions.

In any case, you can always lock down the whole interface by declaring  
an abstract class that implements the methods in the interface(s) as 
abstract methods and declares concrete constructor(s). 

Works for me.
