I don't think that simplified Trait introduced by Andreas still uses Trait.<BR>
<BR>
If we have Trait in Image, we should have a minimum tool support.<BR>
But even if we don't use Trait, but have one or more instance of Trait in the image then it should not spoil browsing implementors of #bindingOf: <BR>
<BR>
Then removing Trait is yet another option, but it won't be that easy to re-introduce them if we ever need them or just want to experiment things.<BR>
The idea was more to provide a minimal support for Trait and don't use them directly in core system.<BR>

Are Traits used at all? Are they used meaningfully? I remember they seemed like a pretty cool idea but has any actual, useful usefulness of a useful nature been made of them? Are there tools to do anything sensible with them? Is there current, readable documentation that would help people make good use of them?<BR>
<BR>
If not, toss'em.<BR>

Could be removed and guess nobody here miss they.<BR>
