My opinion is the opposite. I've never seen anyone use the term
"traits", but I have seen the term "concept".
In addition, we probably don't want to confuse them with
C++'s concepts. Much as they're similar, they're quite not the
same thing.
The implementation differs in the details but the idea is exactly
the same. Using the same term is helpful for people who are
familiar with C++ concepts.
