// WHY ?

@marijn again, i'm not talking about overriding default values or access level, i'm talking about inconsistency like that:

<?php

error_reporting(0);

trait one
{
    /** prop1 */
    protected $prop = 0;

    /** method1 */
    public function method() {}
}

class two
{
    use one;

    /** prop2 */
    protected $prop = 0;

    /** method2 */
    public function method() {}
}

$two = new two();
$refl = new \ReflectionObject($two);

echo $refl->getProperty('prop')->getDocComment() . "\n";
echo $refl->getMethod('method')->getDocComment() . "\n";

will output:

/** prop1 */
/** method2 */
