It's always ignored *internally*, i.e. you'll never get a return value from
`new Foo()`. PHP just ignores whatever you return, and hands you your new
instance of Foo.

But if you call parent::__construct() from inside a constructor, you can
get the return value from the parent constructor.

I wouldn't though :)
