   Constructs a new :phpclass:`Collection <MongoDB\\Collection>` instance. 

   .. code-block:: php

      function __construct(MongoDB\Driver\Manager $manager, $databaseName, $collectionName, array $options = [])

   :phpmethod:`MongoDB\\Collection::__construct` has the following parameters:

   .. include:: /includes/apiargs/MongoDBCollection-method-construct-param.rst

   :phpmethod:`MongoDB\\Collection::__construct` supports the following
   options:
   
   .. include:: /includes/apiargs/common-option.rst

   If you construct the Collection explicitly, the Collection inherits
   any options from the ``Manager`` object. If you select the Collection
   from a :phpclass:`Client <MongoDB\\Client>` or :phpclass:`Database
   <MongoDB\\Database>` object, the Collection inherits its options
   from that object.
