Hello Oladoyinbo,

Personally for me, if I see `fn` in methods instead of `function` I would
expect
it behave as `fn`-anonymous arrow function. E.g.:

```php
class Example
{
    public fn getMyProperty() -> $this->myProperty;
}
```
What do you think about it?

Best regards,
Oleksii Bulba
