We based our comparison on something that existed for a long time.
Moreover, ANSI defines a set of protocols that we wanted to reflect in
our implementation. Now, you propose something new and probably
interesting in absence of traits. If I understand correctly, your
proposal does not follow ANSI. This is not a problem, but we tried to
follow it when we designed Nile. I'm afraid that comparing Nile with
your design would lead to compare apples and bananas :-). But still,
I'm very interested in your proposal. It would be cool if you could
provide diagrams and/or implementation.
