I'm very hazy on the benefit of a trait system that relies on self.trait.subtrait.othersubtrait(self). Is it because each trait can remain constant? Why is it more important to have methods in a child operating on a shared pool of variables, when it's possible to put both the variables and methods in children and avoid relying on a large, shared state? It just feels like a very arbitrary separation to me, and goes again the grain of good compositional design.

Oh, that's really weird. I definitely see that gmail's thread history
agrees with you, but the quote history in that post was my post. Very
odd.
