What is your work?

Only on a very small base, 2 or 3 traits.

Debugging is not a problem. The problem is that the code browser and
Monticello are only 80% there, RB is not trait aware, ....

You mean because they don't support traits? Yes of course. But you can
always flatten the traits. Then you'll "only" have to deal with the
real portability problems which are big enough.
