While I like features like this in other languages, I think it would
be a big break with PHP's model. PHP has always had a rather static
object model, which may be somewhat limiting, but has the benefit of
being easy to comprehend. Traits/Grafts stays within this paradigm,
but making it possible to modify objects dynamically would be
stretching it.
