Myself and david at mouf-php dot com still feel there is an issue here as I'm sure many other
people do as well.
Yes, David has provided a hacky workaround however this is not the solution.
The reason I had not added any more feedback was because I had just abandoned my use of traits due
to this behavior, not because the issue had been resolved/

Nice blog David. Good to see other people battling with this frustration as well. Will be looking
more indepth at your work around to see if it helps what I was planning on doing.

I have a very strong feeling about this.
I understand that the PHP implementation of traits is about copying traits into classes. Yet, the
whole purpose of a Reflection API is to find where properties / methods are declared.
I have a simple question: I need to be able to find in which class/trait a method is declared. I
need this for my PHP framework (Mouf), that is heavily relying in reflection to build a graphical
dependency injection system.
I've written a lengthy blog post explaining what the problems with the current Reflection API
are, and hopefully, how to find a (not perfect) work around.
You can find the blog post here: http://mouf-php.com/blog/php_reflection_api_traits
I really hope we can agree this is indeed something that needs to be fixed, as the workaround
I've put in place are far from perfect.
For technical details, my PHP version: PHP 5.4.9-4ubuntu2.1.

In that case should there not be some kind of isTrait for the ReflectionMethod
the same way there is for the ReflectionClass?

the methods of traits are copied into class.
so, in theory, there is nothing wrong.
