Custom exceptions private methods

I would like to raise a custom error/exception when a user tries to call a private method/constructor. Suppose I have a class:
classdef MyClass
methods (Access = private)
function self = MyClass(arg1, arg2)
% Some constructor logic
end
end
methods (Static)
function myClass = createMyClass(arg1, arg2)
myClass = MyClass(arg1, arg2)
end
end
end
If I try to call:
MyClass(arg1, arg2)
it gives a not so helpful error:
Error using MyClass
Cannot access method 'MyClass' in class 'MyClass'.
I would instead like to point the user to the static method by saying:
'Construct me by calling MyClass.createMyClass.'
How would I be able to do this? Thanks!

You can customise error messages by rethrowing errors but I can't think of a way off-hand that doesn't require you to know in the first place that the code you are writing (i.e. accessing the constructor) is incorrect in order to catch the exception it throws, in which case it is pointless as you would just correct it anyway.
I have never had any objection to the default message myself - it is succinct and to the point and you can easily query class methods or look in the class definition to work out what to call instead.
