It creates a false choice, though (all or nothing). IIUC, with Object.create, you don't even get the conflict checking. And then you've really lost the key benefit of traits. I think there's room for alternatives in the traits space -- for example, something similar wrt trait composition, but that didn't bind |this| or freeze. That way, you could still integrate traits with the existing prototype system. For example, to compose traits to create an object that you then use as the prototype for a constructor. This would allow for the "vtables" approach and would also give you the ability to specify initialization behavior to invoke on instantiation, which you can't do with traits.js.
