I highly doubt THAT many names properties or constants in paticular
with the same name as a method, and honestly, is it that bad to get a
few extra search results? I think that seems like a very thin argument
against this.
For readablity, the only situration I can think of that can create
some fuzzy is something like this;
abstract class A {
b();
}
Abstract class with a method and the visibility modifier omitted,
looks like a function call inside a block of code but that is pretty
much about it, but in a non example type of context, even that would
add more readability to that fuzzy example:
abstract class Driver {
connect($host, $username, $password, $database);
close();
}
Thats for saying, I'm not against removing it, but I'm not in hugely
favor for doing so either, lets call that neutral.
