I agree that traits wont come up normally.  But as soon as you get into big 
complicated
heiarchies traits are probably going to be a better fit.  Not only that, I 
have seen a lot of
people ask for protocols to be actual queriable objects.  That seems to be 
about what
traits are afaik.

Many things smalltalk has are just better versions of what everyone else 
has.  I think things
like this are what everyone will be trying to steal tommorow when they 
finally arrive where
smalltalk was years ago and see what the problems are.
