Comment (by dd32):

 Hi @arena,
 What version of PHP are you using?

 I expect the answer will be PHP 5.3/5.4?
 Unfortunately this isn't something we can change, for backwards
 compatibility with WordPress plugins, and also forwards compatibility with
 PHP 7.
 Removing the extra PHP4-style constructor breaks compatibility with older
 WordPress plugins, Moving it before the new-style constructor silences the
 PHP 5.4 strict standard warning, but then emits a PHP7 warning.

 IIRC PHP 5.5 dropped that Strict standard rule since it wasn't viable
 moving forward (I believe).
