Are you in the "release the Kraken" mood? :) I haven't used stateful traits, and barely traits at all (when I wanted to use it extensively the tools weren't ready). But I see Traits more as a mix-in approach, rather than a multiple inheritance one. Also, in my experience building software with Smalltalk, I didn't have the need to use multiple inheritance, but I did have the need to reuse some behavior like Singleton, "named objects" (implementors of #name/#name:), and have "Interface" like behavior (as in Java's `implements ABCInterface`) I can query, and all that can be done with Traits and, IMO, it better represents the purpose of a "trait" rather than a multiple inheritance mechanism.

I was just thinking about all the freedom brought by stateful traits, and the thought occurred: why not just simplify and remove another hurdle by having multiple inheritance with the conflict resolution and scoping of traits?

Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious…
