You are totally missing the point. It is the principle of having to spend

Yet you seem to have no problem wasting loads of time arguing about it
on the internet.
Because I would rather fight for valid principles than give in. To quote
Emiliano Zapata "It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees".
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...
Omg, a folowup.
I just found a gem in the docs:
"As of PHP 5.3.3, methods with the same name as the last element of a
namespaced class name will no longer be treated as constructor. This change
doesn't affect non-namespaced classes."
Can be read here:

So, I think this seals the deal :)
