True. I think I subconsciously avoid anything with an __ in front of it because to me the connotation of an __ is "Only works if the stars align just right. We're trying to scare you away from this feature for a reason. Here be monsters." If traits, excuse me, __traits, is stable enough not to deserve this connotation, then it absolutely deserves its own keyword.
