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
