I would like to submit the following RFC for your consideration: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/constructor_promotion This is based on one off the suggestions made in https://externals.io/message/109220, and some existing discussion on the topic can be found in that thread. The primary motivation for this feature is to close the currently rather wide gap between the use of ad-hoc array structures, and the use of well-defined and type-safe value objects. The latter is what we want people to use, but the former is, unfortunately, what is *easy* to use.

The amount of boilerplate this would cut down for e.g. projects using DI and DTOs is unfathomable. How does this work together with reflection? Will reflection see the properties _and_ the extended constructor definitions? thanks, - Markus
