I'd like to put forward Primary Constructors <https://wiki.php.net/rfc/primary-constructors> for comment.

The RFC currently does not specify the interaction with visibility. It is currently implied that the constructor will be public, but the RFC doesn't spell that out and doesn't specify whether or not it is possible to make such a constructor non-public (e.g. to actually treat it as a “primary constructor” in a sea of multiple named constructors).

The RFC also doesn't specify whether the parent constructor call supports named arguments:

    class P(public string $foo, public string $bar) { }

    class C(string $bar, string $foo) extends P(bar: $bar, foo: $foo) { }
