I want to read the paper :) Stef
Thanks I should digest it. Now what I did not like in our stateful model was that - in introduced too many operators - I'm not sure I like trait state to be private because it changes a lot the smalltalk model At least, Toon will avoid all the problems we had with the renaming and unwanted name clashed. Trait's accessors and mutators should then do their job.
Alexandre And since we would apply slot aliasing, we only need to provide the alias to the users. It's an extra way of weaving traits, not just getter+setter anymore. This means that they don't become public accessors! The slots are used for private access.
