WILL NOT HAPPEN.

No more downwards compatability issues from this business. It might be
possible to make a child class inherits its parent constructor by default,
but that's not a 3.0 issue. My personal opinion is that classes are being
overused in all sorts of places, including places where they have no value
but pure bloat. Inheritance makes this even worse.

Guys, an interpretted language like PHP is *NOT* suitable to be an OO
language. There'll be *no* additional parser level features in version
3.0, please stop asking for them.
