The point about breaking this is *not* PHP 4 compatibility but
compatibility between PECL packages. The name of the constructor method
is part of the API.
Think about code like this in module A:
class A_class {
function A_class() { }
}
and then module B extending this:
class B_class extends A_class {
function B_class() {
A_class();
}
}
I also wonder how Andrea's tool handles more indirect cases (C_class
extends B_class, while B_class has no ctor so C_class calls directly
A_class's ctor)
So I'm -1 on this.
