I agree that it should always be possible to call parent::__construct() (at least if a base class exists :-)). > __construct() > __destruct() > Empty. Agreed. If the method actually exists or is somehow magic is an implementation detail.

Right now a bit cloning is done before __clone() is called, I can live with the minimal performance penalty this might cause. Keeps things simple and calling a non-implemented parent::__ never causes any harm like this. - Chris
