I agree. If you'd get the Collection hierarchy reworked in a cleaner way,
this would be a very good prove of concept of your Traits system (don't have
taken a look yet), since you have taken a *difficult* part of the system.
Getting something better as MI would be great!
A key point for the usability of such a system seems to me to have a good
integration into the tools (to avoid the 'modules effect').
