Cannot instantiate trait t

Description

A trait represents a part of a class, and cannot be instantiated alone. For that, the trait must be used in a class, aka, it must be specified with the use keyword inside a class.

In fact, when a class only use one trait, it is the closest syntax to instanciate a trait.

Example

<?php

trait t {}

//Cannot instantiate trait t
new t();

class xt {
     use t;
}

new xt();

?>

Solutions
