Use-case for `use`ing the same trait multiple times in the same class?

Currently we permit the same trait to be used multiple times in a class: ```php trait T { } class C { use T; use T; } ``` In this example it works because T doesn't have any methods. If you add methods it won't because they will conflict: ```php trait T { function get() {} } ``` > Trait method get has not been applied, because there are collisions with other trait methods The main question for this email: are there any valid use-cases which do not conflict? Is there some way the methods *on the same class* don't conflict? Using T::get as get2 still conflicts because that *aliases* even though most literature says it renames. If not I would like to forbid it as part of an implementation of generics I am working on.
