In what scenarios would traits or Classkit be more suitable alternatives to dynamically editing classes in PHP?

Traits or Classkit would be more suitable alternatives to dynamically editing classes in PHP when you want to add reusable functionality to multiple classes without inheritance, or when you need to modify classes at runtime without directly altering their code. Traits allow for code reuse across different classes, while Classkit provides tools for dynamically modifying classes at runtime. 

// Example using traits to add functionality to multiple classes
trait Logging {
    public function log($message) {
        echo $message;
    }
}

class MyClass {
    use Logging;
}

$obj = new MyClass();
$obj->log("Logging message");

// Example using Classkit to dynamically modify a class at runtime
class MyClass {
    public function sayHello() {
        echo "Hello";
    }
}

$className = 'MyClass';
$methodName = 'sayHello';

// Add a new method to MyClass at runtime
classkit_method_add($className, 'newMethod', '$param', 'echo "New method";');

$obj = new MyClass();
$obj->newMethod();
