The following paragraph appears in the draft release notes, after the description of mixins:

"
Traits <http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~scg/Research/Traits/>, which is the term we used informally when discussing our extension of the language, has a formal definition in O-O theory that side-steps the complexity of mixins and overriding by prohibiting state and overriding in `trait`s. We do not enforce such restrictions, although the designer can impose such a discipline on themselves.
"

I propose to delete it. We do NOT support traits and we do support mixins. Therefore I think any mention of traits unnecessarily complicates things.

Opinions?
