this thousand times ... Traits as class makes no sense to me indeed and
Mark example shows plain objects passed as Trait.create ... that works just
fine, except some trait initialization, which should not be a constructor,
could be used too.

Is there any other language that uses same classical OOP classes as traits
too? It really does not feel right to me.

Btw, reason I'm asking is because somebody else asked, I'm really OK to not
rush and wait to see how it goes when it's the right time.

Best Regards
