PHP Bug Type:     Zend Engine 2 problem
Bug description:  the visibility of class constructor cannot be changed

Description:
------------
While it's no problem to change the visibility of a constructor (limit the
visibility) when using the old way of declaring a constructor (function
with the same name as the class), it's not possible to lower the
visibility in a hierarchy where the constructors are named after the new
standard : __construct() .
The engine have to check whether the name is __construct() (what about
__destruct()? ), and not to complain in this case that the visibility is
lowered.

The first example emits a fatal error. The second is perfectly valid.

Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r 'class a{public function __construct() {}} class b extends a
{private function __construct(){}}'

php -r 'class a{public function a() {}} class b extends a {private
function b(){}}'

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Fatal error:  Access level to b::__construct() must be public (as in
class a) in Command line code on line 1
