-====== PHP RFC: Allow void return type on constructors/destructors ======
-  * Date: 2020-06-14
-  * Author: Benas Seliuginas, <benas.molis.iml@gmail.com>
-  * Status: Draft
-  * Target version: PHP 8.0
-===== Introduction =====
-RFC proposes to allow using ''void'' return type on constructors and destructors (e. g. for alternative code style, consistency with other methods, etc.). In a way, this RFC is like a trailing comma: some might use it, some might not, but both cases are valid and allowed.
-===== Proposal =====
-===== Backward Incompatible Changes =====
-None.
-To ensure backwards compatibility, it is allowed to not specify a return type at all. Although, since no return type is ''mixed|void'', it is not allowed to narrow the return type to ''mixed'', only ''void''.
-===== Vote =====
-/3 majority Yes/No.
-===== Implementation =====
