I guess the first question is whether a "trait" is a new construct or just
a way to import fields/methods from a class. I like the idea of a formal
new type so we can limit the scope of the feature instead of taking on the
baggage of an old type like "object". I'll wait to hear from the compiler
team however.
I don't see what baggage there is ?
You said it yourself: internally it will just be an object. Just make it
formally so.
I also think the argument of reusing existing objects deserves consideration.
