Sometimes you need more than one parameter and even rethinking wouldn't =
"solve" this requirement.

O_O really?!? You would use factory methods just to allow more than one =
parameter to be passed to the constructor? Okayyyy.....

Yup :)

I agree. But PHP (until PHP 5.2.x) was the wrong language for everyone =
who wanted to use namespaces, too.
But a programming language is able to evolve and sometimes new features =
are really usefull and should be included. And in this special case the =
new feature would not harm anyone because it would be fully backward =
compatible and in my humble opinion it would push php to an enterprise =
level when it comes to object orientation.

Btw: I really LOVE PHP and the way it handles things. You are able to =
develop applications VERY fast but when it comes to big applications it =
is sometimes better to be more strict and structure things a little bit =
different, especially when you have to mess around with 3rdparty =
developers.
