Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] [RFC] Default constructors
From: smalyshev@gmail.com (Stanislav Malyshev)

Hi!

Obviously, I disagree with that. I do not see any bad practices it
encourages - if anything, it encourages the good practice of always
calling parent ctor, practice considered so good by many that some
languages make it mandatory.

The discussion of __call etc. presented there does not seem too relevant
for me - __call was never called on missing ctor and it makes zero sense
to do so since no sane implementation uses __call do dispatch
constructors. I'll need to check though if my changes don't have BC
impact on __call (they should not, but I did not check before, so I'll
check that too).

Thanks,
Stas
