Hello Sterling,
We need exceptions instead of errors whenever a try/catch block is entered or a constructor gets called. This is a very easy thing to implement but we need a consensus before doing so.
You can always throw the exception manually in the constructor. The bottom line is that right now no one seems to have the answer on what should be done without making a complete mess out of the error/exception handling in PHP. I suggest that in the meanwhile we keep things the way they are, get the beta out the door and see what feedbacks we get and what catches on strongly in the dev community.
p.s.: And i'd still like to have final classes
No big deal IMO and not necessary for the beta.
