<snipped code sample>
You could even do:
class Foo {
function __construct() {
return 42;
}
}
echo (new Foo)->__construct(); // prints 42
I don't consider this behavior to be a bug in the implementation or the
documentation, because the documentation states, that you should not
return anything from a __constructor() function. If you nonetheless do
so, you are violating the contract.
