In Search of an Anonymous Class Factory

anonymous design patterns oop php traits

Mark Baker tried creating an Anonymous Class Factory.

I was intrigued by a request to find a way of dynamically applying Traits to a class at run-time. With time on my hands as I was sitting in the airport, I considered the problem; and my first thought was to build an Anonymous class, extending the requested class (so that it would still contain all the base properties and functionality, and could be type-hinted, but also applying the requested Trait or set of Traits.
