New Traits Patch Ready for Testing
Finally, I managed to complete the changes for the traits patch. Since, PHP 5.3 already entered the release cycle and it is not sure whether there will be a PHP 5.4 with new language features, the new patch is written for the PHP6 codebase.

at the University of Kent. My work focuses on programming language
implementation techniques, complex concurrent systems, and tooling.
