Can anyone tell me what the difference is between mixins and traits?
I'm currently building a website using Ruby-on-Rails (though I'd
probably have been happier with Seaside if Squeak ran on my
architecture), and mixins as implemented in Ruby seem to answer all the
questions that multiple-inheritance fans ask.

Also, when *will* traits make it into the standard image?
