We know now that most of the options involve some tradeoff that is, in some way, distasteful...including leaning on literal syntaxes when what you really want is a class. So we need to disallow this argument unless it's backed up with a *specific* future-compat critique. >> I say that this is small enough we won’t regret it, >> and makes it possible to do a lot more in the future.

We've already walked back a loooong way from the proposals that Bob, Peter, Arv, and I made a year+ ago, and traits as the composition mechanism seem very far off.
