Not sure exactly why you need to $line property public.
If you need to be able to read it, you can use __get.
If you also need to write it, as that also worked, you can also use __set.
So an example that offers the same interface/interaction possible would be:
https://3v4l.org/tHhEL#v8.0.9
https://3v4l.org/tHhEL/rfc#vgit.master
But of course, when you look at the object with reflection, or how var_dump
prints it, the property will still be protected.
