If this is difficult, you can do in PHP 7.0 simple realization
annotation/facades, in versions 7.x to develop and refine.
Most importantly, define the syntax and semantics annotation/facades, for a
version of PHP 7.0
Demand in annotation/facades is very high, ~80% of all popular frameworks
their use, it is really what you need PHP developers.
