 New Comment:

From the documentation of hasMethod(), it seems that private properties
also count as properties. Why do you think this is a bug? Because the
property is not defined in class B but in class A?

Description:
------------
I have a class which inherits from another class. The base class has a

private property. When I check if that property exists on the inherited

class, it returns true.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class A {
	private $a;
}
class B extends A {
}
$a = new B;
$ref = new ReflectionClass($a);
var_dump($ref->hasProperty('a'));


Expected result:
----------------
bool(false)

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
