Thanks marcus. I think that I lost a part of my faith and energy in  
the process of talking about traits...

Traits are the most backward compatible, non-intrusive extension of  
Smalltalk to provide reuse orthogonal to inheritance
we could imagine. The model of traits is the simplest one we could  
think of and (not as researcher since nathanael worked on
extended versions that we will never push in Squeak since there are  
less backward compatible and more conceptually aggressive :).
