I admit thinking in that direction too. But I do wonder if such a level
of extension can be made and still be able to follow new versions of the
base library. It doesn't seem to me that Traits solves that issue - it
only seems to offer a mechanism for more advanced extensions without
touching the source. The coupling would probably be "as bad". At least
that is my guess.
