Bug description:New constant __ALIAS__ for trait functions to know how they
were called
Description:
------------
I would like my trait functions to know what alias (if any) was used to
call them.
The idea came from discovering that you can give a trait function multiple
aliases (see Test Script).
It occurs to me that you could have some interesting dynamic behavior if
the trait function was able to determine what name (alias) was used to call
it.
If possible, a new constant __ALIAS__ could be created to store this
value.
Thank you for your consideration.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
trait TestTrait
{
public function test() { print __FUNCTION__ . ', ' . __ALIAS__ . "\n";
}
}
class TestClass
{
use TestTrait { test as test2; test as test1; }
}
$c = new TestClass();
$c->test1();
$c->test2();
Expected result:
----------------
test, test1
test, test2
Actual result:
--------------
test, __ALIAS__
test, __ALIAS__
