Me neither, but the new pattern does look like it was written tp
specifically allow these combinations.  Thanks for a good example
log message to guide new developers with.

>>  PATTERNS("php",
>> -	 "^[\t ]*(((public|protected|private|static)[\t ]+)*function.*)$\n"
>> +	 "^[\t ]*(((public|protected|private|static|abstract|final)[\t ]+)*function.*)$\n"

It probably does not matter in practice, but I wondered what the
reason for the ordering between final and abstract here (and one
line above) ;-)

Yes.  It seems that we saw another userdiff patch with a test
update recently and that may serve as an example, too.

Thanks, both.
