Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.constants.predefined
---

It might be useful to add information detailing that __DIR__ and __FILE__ and __LINE__ will show the directory, file and line number of the code in the trait definition file, not the location where the trait is being used. It is counterintuitive for non-core developers, so it's best to mention this in de docs.

I'm not sure why you would expect anything different, they are compiler constants, I'm convinced it doesn't need mentioning because it's obvious so closing the bug.

I agree that this they are compiler constants, but most developers don't have a clue. I'm not asking to change the implementation, only to specify this in the docs, so it's clear for anyone who's not aware of the fact that these constants are replaced at compile time, not at run-time.
