This is already possible in userland: you can already define your own __inject method, and, convention-based, rely on it in your own userland DIC 2. Setter injection (as well as property injection, and also the proposed __inject) leads to temporal coupling smells. Explained otherwise, your object instances are not "functioning" right after instantiation, which makes their API more complex and reduces reliability (they are broken until injection has happened). Please just use the constructor: it works, and it is a simple pre-existing injection point 👍
