Can't use function name in Presenter which is equal to the name of the property

[pixelpeter]

It seems like something has changed with Laravel 5.

Currently I'm not able to use a function name which is equal to the name of the property.
So this is not working and I can't figure it out why

public function description()
{
    return $this->description;
}

This will throw an Undefined property: App\Presenter\ApplicationPresenter::$description

The only way I could get this to work is by using a different method name

public function getDescription()
{
    return $this->description;
}

or referencing the property like this

public function description()
{
    return $this->entity->description;
}

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in interaction with Laravel 5 ?

Same problem here. Any updates?

Really appreciate this issue.

I also encountered this problem and I was wired until I see this.

I think, at least, it should be documented to make people be aware.
