By this time, you could have opened your project/projects in any Regex
search and replace capable editor/IDE, wrote a pattern that matches class
name with a method name same as class name and replaces it with
__construct. Takes about 5-10 minutes for the first project to get it
right, ensures forward compatibility since 5.0.0 and saves your employer
all those hours that you just spend arguing.
Or just write a PHP script that does the same - even easier and faster...
