Aside from the new warning that is emitted and the old one that is
removed no other behavior is changed. This means the "bug" will remain
through the PHP 7 lifecycle even if this RFC passes. If the RFC passes
the colliding constructor issue will be removed in PHP 8 when the rest
of the old-style constructor support is removed.
