Re: Primary Constructors

I don't think we should include the "secondary constructor calls primary constructor and you have to make sure it works" logic.

PHP doesn't (and cannot easily) support method overloading, thus there cannot be such a thing as “primary and secondary” constructor. It is unclear to me what you are getting at here.

However, I do think we can/should consider an init block.

At the point where extra logic is required maybe just write a plain old regular __construct() method instead of inventing yet another “method-like” construct. Best regards Tim Düsterhus
