Hi,
Some time ago, I migrated part of some class implementation into a trait, and I
was surprised that it resulted in a syntax error, because constants were not
supported in traits. In my case, I could trivially resolve the issue by
morphing the (private) constant into a static property (semantically less
correct, but pragmatically simpler); but I was feeling that it is yet one more
inconsistency of PHP: Why on earth are static properties supported, but not
constants?
So, this is a welcome addition (or, rather, a welcome correction of an
oversight).
