Funnily enough, I was just recently wondering why exactly that was, and
couldn't find much of an answer. The RFC rather vaguely says that it would
cause problems with dynamic dispatch, but it's not obvious to me why using
"insteadof" to replace an inherited or locally declared method would be any
different from using it to choose between two traits.
However, even if that limitation wasn't present, I can't see a use case for
*directly* using the same trait twice in one class. I say directly, because
even now you can *indirectly* introduce a trait twice, via inheritance of
either the class or the trait.
trait A { function foo() {} }
trait B { use A; function bar() {} }
trait C { use A; function baz() {} }
class X {
use B, C { B::foo insteadof C; }
}
class Y extends X {
use A;
}
