Hi internals,
On the documentation about traits there is a mention to: "Traits support
the use of abstract methods in order to impose requirements upon the
exhibiting class." in
https://secure.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php#language.oop5.traits.abstract
However, this is not true, and it has never been since traits were
introduced (https://3v4l.org/tYAmu).
There is a related bug report in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75449
What currently happens is that (like with normal methods), the method on
the receiving class is used and the method from the trait is simply ignored.
Although this can be fixed, I wanted your opinion on it as this would be
the only thing from traits that would impose anything on the receiving
class and conflicts with the normal precedence rules.
Regards,
Pedro
