Description:
------------
PHP made great progress by adding function return and parameter types. It would be great to push it to a new level and allow for C++ style method overloading, to enable different types of constructors, and function signatures.

Use cases:

Construct a class by a numeric id:
__construct(int $id)

Construct a class by a given string identifier:
__construct(string $name)
