Bug #70610 [NEW]: Misleading example of "illegal" importing rule

From: krewecherl at gmail dot net Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:Misleading example of "illegal" importing rule Description: ------------ Referring to the English manual page about "Using namespaces: Aliasing/Importing" http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php Example #5 is supposed to show an illegal importing rule. What it actually shows is something different: the insertion of a Trait. This is (now) perfectly valid PHP, it just does something different from what the page is describing. I assume the example was added before we had traits; it should be updated to avoid confusion. Since the preceding paragraph is referring to scope, perhaps the class should be replaced by a function.
