> What problem are you trying to solve?

well, I have several issues that would be nicely addressed by Traits. 
the problem I would like to see solved is that of usability of Traits in 
Squeak. I believe Traits are currently not really usable, by lack of 
system support (tools, etc.)

I guess the reason is that the Traits implementors have moved to another 
project, where they may or may not have better tool support in the near 
or far future.

I'm not talking about adding an incompatible implementation, I just 
recalled that Andreas once said here that the current implementation is 
deeply flawed, overly complicated and could be *replaced* by a much 
better one. I may be wrong here, which is why I asked.
