Description:
------------
Problem
- "TestClass" is not contained in get_declared_classes()

Circumstances
- the class uses a Trait
- get_declared_classes() is called before the declaration of the class

Test script:
---------------
trait CAS {}

// with use CAS = 135 classes
// without use CAS = 136 classes
var_dump(sizeof(get_declared_classes()));

class TestClass
{
    use CAS;
}

Expected result:
----------------
I would always expect 136 classes 

Actual result:
--------------
135 classes, TestClass is not contained

You check get_declared_classes() before the class is defined ... Classes using traits are not early-bound.

Yes, so it is. But in this case, the behavior is not documented. 

If I check get_declared_classes() before a class with trait, the result is different from a class without trait. If it's a feature and not a bug, it should be documented in http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.traits.php or http://php.net/manual/en/function.get-declared-classes.php, don't you think?

Thx and keep up the good work!

@bastian: see also my comment on bug #68936, which was coincidentally (?) created minutes before nikic replied here.

It seems to me that it's not that classes using traits are not documented to not be early-bound, which is too many negatives for one sentence I know, but that classes using traits do not benefit from the undocumented early-binding "feature" that typical classes do.
