Nathanael Scharli did the work:
http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/cgi-bin/scgbib.cgi?query=nathanael+applying+traits+to+the+collection+hierarchy+oopsla.

However, it's only a refactoring. What would be more interesting is a
complete rewrite keeping a compatible interface (as I did with Nile).
You may want to have a look at the Smalltalk ANSI standard.
