What problem are you trying to solve?
well, I have several issues that would be nicely addressed by Traits. the problem I would like to see solved is that of usability of Traits in Squeak. I believe Traits are currently not really usable, by lack of system support (tools, etc.)
For whatever reason, nobody seems to care enough about this to do the tools integration work.
I guess the reason is that the Traits implementors have moved to another project, where they may or may not have better tool support in the near or far future.
It is hard to imagine that adding a different (and probably incompatible) implementation of traits would cause the tools integration to happen any faster.
I'm not talking about adding an incompatible implementation, I just recalled that Andreas once said here that the current implementation is deeply flawed, overly complicated and could be *replaced* by a much better one. I may be wrong here, which is why I asked.
