Description: ------------ The `Stringable` interface available as of 8.0.0, which can be explicitly or implicitly available on a class that implements `__toString()` does not seem to acknowledge that if `__toString()` comes via a trait, then the implicit implementation of `Stringable` does not work Test script: --------------- <?php trait A { public function __toString(): string { return 'ok'; } } class B { use A; } class C { public function __toString(): string { return 'ok'; } } $b = new B(); var_dump($b instanceof Stringable); $c = new C(); var_dump($c instanceof Stringable); Expected result: ---------------- PHP7: bool(false) bool(false) PHP8: bool(true) bool(true) Actual result: -------------- PHP7: bool(false) bool(false) PHP8: bool(false) bool(true)
