This interface has no methods, its only purpose is to be the base

The <interfacename>Traversable</interfacename> interface can now be implemented
by abstract classes. Extending classes must implement
<interfacename>Iterator</interfacename> or
<interfacename>IteratorAggregate</interfacename>.

<para>
Internal (built-in) classes that implement this interface can be used in
a &foreach; construct and do not need to implement
<interfacename>IteratorAggregate</interfacename> or
<interfacename>Iterator</interfacename>.
</para>
</note>
<note>
<para>
Prior to PHP 7.4.0, this internal engine interface couldn't be implemented
in PHP scripts. Either <interfacename>IteratorAggregate</interfacename>
or <interfacename>Iterator</interfacename> must be used instead.
