Hi,

That would be if I had an obssesive love for symmetry, which is not the case
:-)

I don't care much about terms.

PHP lacks polymorphic constructors (a limitation which, after several years
using the best available OO practices with VB6, I can perfectly cope with).
So, if you need an alternate way to fill an object's data members, then
__wakeup seems to come in very handy.

With __construct(<args>), you initialize -i.e. fill data members and create
the appropriate internal states- the object from args.

With __wakeup you know you have your top level data members initialized
(from a previous state), so you have to rebuild the apropriate internal
states.

I have no problem at all with that. It may not be symmetric (but, again, who
cares?), but it is precisely documented and it works as expected (I guess,
since I have had no experience at all with PHP serialization).
