Thanks for that info.

I'm not really sure about how things work internally, besides some vague
references to "traits" the documentation doesn't help too much - can you
redefine member methods on a particular instance?

What I mean is this:

var foo : Foo = new Foo();
foo.bar(); // Does something
foo.bar = function() : void { doOtherStuff() };
foo.bar(); // Does something else
