I could see people doing:

  class foo {
    function foo() {
       ...constructor stuff...
    }
    function __construct() {
       $this->foo();
    }
  }

In order to make the class work on both PHP4 and PHP5 in which case it
would be essential for foo() to be callable as a regular method in the
class.

Didn't see the context :)
