So you have used traits? In which project? Can I see the code? I've been 
constantly on the lookout for good examples of traits use but so far I 
have only found a few toy academic projects that look beautiful (and go 
and scale nowhere) and one realistic real-world use (the traits 
implementation itself) which to me is a bunch of spaghetti code and 
where I am very curious how maintenance will work out over the next years.
