Yes, I would like to reiterate again:  If you want to get a success
story with traits the way to do it is not to simply cram them in
somewhere and say "see! used in practice".  In fact if that's all we
have of traits in the end they will be seen (rightfully so) as a
failure.

So before using traits somewhere it should heavily be weighed if a
more traditional approach wouldn't work better or even just as well.
In either case I would take the traditional approach, as using traits
in these cases makes it look like unneeded duplication of features.
