Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Declaration of Bar::__construct() must be compatible with that of Foo::__construct()
From: helly@php.net (Marcus Boerger)

Hello Timm,

i had the same expirience today too. And also for me it makes not much
sense. The constructor shouldn't check inheritance rules. And as a
consequence maybe interfaces shouldn't allow constructors.
