Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] Traits
From: php@stefan-marr.de (Stefan Marr)

Hi Tom:

The status is still identical to what the RFC says + some extensions to =
the reflection API.

Thus, you can define properties in Traits just like in classes, and I =
would encourage you to do so, if that is the way you use PHP. However, =
there is no conflict detection with other traits. Thus, you have to make =
sure that your property names are descriptive and unique over all traits =
you combine.

Finding a solution for that problem wasn't possible so far. At least not =
in a way that makes people happy i.e. avoids tons of complex and rather =
academic constructs to ensure that you get what you want with respect to =
state.

Hope that helps
Best regards
Stefan
