Hi Sara,


While it's certainly silly/pointless to have a nil constructor when

there are non-promoted args present, I think that deliberately making
that mode special (read: inconsistent) is the wrong way to go.

Sorry, but I don't follow - so you would prefer that this:


     public function __construct();


be valid syntax as well, considering within the scope of the proposed?
Am I reading this right?



Yes. It might be silly and pointless, but, it doesn't have any negative
side effects, so why not?


I agree, even for all methods, if I can avoid the {} when I don't need it.

To go further, for any method that return void or a nullable type, it would be a nice to have the semicolon syntax automatically returning null or void when possible, for when implementing an interface method or abstract method you actually don't need to implement.

Regards,

Pierre
