Constructors are not affected by the Liskov substitution principle, thus they
don't need to have a matching signature. See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5490824/should-constructors-comply-with-the-liskov-substitution-principle
for a bit of reasoning.

Description:
------------
When a method signature is different in an inherited class and its parent, you
get
a strict notice (assuming they are turned on).
This does not happen with constructors.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
error_reporting( -1 );
class A
{
public function __construct( $a )
{
}
}
class B extends A
{
public function __construct( array $a )
{
}
}
class C
{
public function doSomething( $a )
{
}
}
class D extends C
{
public function doSomething( array $a )
{
}
}
Expected result:
----------------
Strict Notice Declaration of B::__construct() should be compatible with that of
A::__construct() in ...
Strict Notice Declaration of D::doSomething() should be compatible with that of
C::doSomething() in ...
Actual result:
--------------
Strict Notice Declaration of D::doSomething() should be compatible with that of
C::doSomething() in ...
