Understanding Laravel's macroable trait

Nicola Malizia wrote a short blog post on how Laravel's handy Macroable trait can be used and how it works under the hood.

If you check the Laravel codebase I’m sure that you can observe that Laravel makes use of traits.There is one trait in the source code that pulls my attention. I’m talking about the Macroable trait. ... The purpose of this trait is to extend (not in an OOP sense) a class at run-time. This way, you can add behavior without editing the original class source code.
