Bug description:Make traits more flexibile

Description:
------------
I find traits very useful (i've been waiting for their availability for a
long time) - however I think people could benefit from having a bit more
flexibility when using them - specifically when dealing with trait method
renaming - rather then being forced to choose one method over the other, I
think it would be useful to have the option to rename all methods from all
traits to our liking. I've posted an example in the test/script section.



Test script:
---------------
trait dog {
        public function bark() {
                echo("Bark, bark, bark!<br>");
                $this->breathe();
        }
        public function breathe() {
                echo("...dog breathing...<br>");
        }
}

trait snake {
        public function hiss() {
                echo("ssssss!<br>");
                $this->breathe();
        }
        public function breathe() {
                echo("...snake breathing...<br>");
        }
}

class pugosnake {
        use dog, snake {
                //What I think it would be useful is this
                dog::breathe as dogBreathe;
                dog::bark as dogBark; // which will call the correct breathe 
function
(dogBreathe now);
                snake::breathe as snakeBreathe;
                snake::hiss as snakeHiss; // which will also call the correct 
breathe
function (snakeBreathe now);
        }
}

$a = new pugosnake();
$a->dogBreathe(); // Produces "Bark, bark, bark...dog breathing..."
$a->snakeBreathe(); // Produces "ssssss...snake breathing..."

// Right now this doesn't work as we're forced to select one breathe method
over the other
