@phan-constructor-used-for-side-effects

The @phan-constructor-used-for-side-effects tag declares that a constructor's return value is intentionally discarded by callers, suppressing the issue Phan would otherwise raise for an unused new expression.

Parsing a @phan-constructor-used-for-side-effects tag produces a PhanConstructorUsedForSideEffectsTag instance. Being a pure marker, it adds nothing beyond the $name and optional $description every Tag already carries.
