Hi.

I know this is not the first time someone requests multiple inheritance in PHP, but I really think you should consider it as interfaces are not always acceptable.

For instance, with the current single-inheritance model, if I'm working with the ActiveRecord pattern and want to add some adapter-independant methods, I'd have to copy and paste the _same_ code for each driver/adapter. This is not handy at all.

I'd be nice to count with this feature in the next major release.

Cheers!

Expected result:
----------------
Multiple-inheritance support

Actual result:
--------------
Single-inheritance support (only)

I asked for multiple inheritance and all I got was lousy Traits (PHP >= 5.4):
