I wanted to give a datapoint for my no vote. I think going from forbidding
return types on ctors to requiring them to be void is one step to far. Yes,
the use-cases for returning something from a constructor are questionable,
but why force something that strictly is not something the language should
care about, as it can as easily be a coding style topic.

For me the RFC vote should be "allow to dcelare return types on
constructors/destructors?", then people *can* declare void, but *can* also
declare other things, but nothing *must* be done. Then it becomes a
question of coding styles enforcing "void" for all constructors of a
project for example. I would vote Yes on that.
