I wanted to create traits for properties such as `created_at` and `updated_at` for my ActiveRecord implementation, but it looks like even if the methods are aliased, PHP consider that there is a clash and throw a fatal error. That makes me sad. Is there a solution to that ?

created_at.php

<?php

namespace ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord;

/**
 * Defines the `created_at` property and the corresponding getter/setter.
 *
 * @property \ICanBoogie\DateTime $created_at The date and time at which the record was created.
 */
trait CreatedAtProperty
{
	use DateTimeProperty
	{
		DateTimeProperty::set_datetime as set_created_at;
		DateTimeProperty::get_datetime as get_created_at;
	}

	private $created_at;
}

datetime.php

<?php

namespace ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord;

use ICanBoogie\DateTime;

trait DateTimeProperty
{
	/**
	 * Sets the date and time.
	 *
	 * @param string|\DateTime $value
	 */
	protected function set_datetime($value)
	{
		#
		# debug_backtrace is used to retrieve the name of the property because we can't retrieve
		# the name of the function when it's aliased by trait.
		#

		$backtrace = debug_backtrace(0, 2);
		$property = $backtrace[1]['args'][0];

		$this->$property = $value;
	}

	/**
	 * Returns the date and time represented by a {@link \ICanBoogie\DateTime} instance.
	 *
	 * @return \ICanBoogie\DateTime A {@link \ICanBoogie\DateTime} instance.
	 */
	protected function get_datetime()
	{
		#
		# debug_backtrace is used to retrieve the name of the property because we can't retrieve
		# the name of the function when it's aliased by trait.
		#

		$backtrace = debug_backtrace(0, 2);
		$property = $backtrace[1]['args'][0];
		$datetime = $this->$property;

		if ($datetime instanceof DateTime)
		{
			return $datetime;
		}

		return $this->$property = ($datetime === null) ? DateTime::none() : new DateTime($datetime, 'utc');
	}
}

index.php

<?php

use ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord\DateTimeProperty;

class Node extends \ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord
{
	use \ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord\CreatedAtProperty,
	\ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord\ModifiedAtProperty
	{
		DateTimeProperty::get_datetime insteadof CreatedAtProperty;
		DateTimeProperty::get_datetime insteadof CreatedAtProperty;
		DateTimeProperty::set_datetime insteadof ModifiedAtProperty;
		DateTimeProperty::set_datetime insteadof ModifiedAtProperty;
	}
}

// ok ! but that's so ugly now !

updated_at.php

<?php

namespace ICanBoogie\ActiveRecord;

/**
 * Defines the `updated_at` property and the corresponding getter/setter.
 *
 * @property \ICanBoogie\DateTime $updated_at The date and time at which the record was updated.
 */
trait UpdatedAtProperty
{
	use DateTimeProperty
	{
		DateTimeProperty::set_datetime as set_updated_at;
		DateTimeProperty::get_datetime as get_updated_at;
	}

	private $updated_at;
}

The correct file order is "datetime.php", "created_at.php", "update_at.php", and "index.php".
