Isn't it just:

trait Locked {
  public function __set($name, $value) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Property $name not declared!");
  }
  public function __get($name) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Property $name not declared!");
  }
  public function __unset($name) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Property $name not declared!");
  }
}

The RFC says:

While this can be achieved through strategic use of the __set, __get,
and __unset magic methods, this is long-winded, hard to optimise, and
interferes with other uses of those methods.

I don't see how it's "long-winded" - it's just three one-liners, I don't
see how "interferes with other uses" of these methods (if you want other
uses, just add code to the method), and as for optimization, I think we
already have optimization for pre-declared properties, and if you don't
use any others, it would work just as well.
