Pierre,

Is it too much deviation to auto-call the DirectoryIterator
constructor if the dev made a __construct() in the child class but
didn't call the parent construct(), ONLY when the DirectoryIterator's
functionality is referenced. Aka a lazy-load check.

It's a silent call, and i'm not in favour of silent stuff but maybe
this has sparked a few ideas for people reading this discussion to
come up with a less magic solution.

Regards,
Paul Dragoonis.
