Oh yes.. I am :)

http://pinocchio.unibe.ch/~tverwaes/slots.tar.gz gives you an image with an example of a stateful trait open. The state is always private to the class / trait at the moment and it already seems to work pretty well. I modified the NewInspector slightly to show you the proper data (although this needs to be cleaned up, and state should be sorted per trait), and the OB to compile and syntax highlight in the right context.

I didn't test more complex examples yet than what's open, but it's designed generically enough that I'm confident it does ... euhm ... ;)

Hi all,

as you know I'm working on stateful traits using my new classbuilder
no
Are you?


etc... Now I noticed that methods are highlighted always inside of the context 
of the class that's active in the class browser. How can I change this? There 
is already a useful method around to figure out which object it belongs to:

SomeClass traitOrClassOfSelector: #aMethod

This actually will tell me which trait it comes from. So now I could apply 
syntax coloring in the context of the trait rather than the class. Since in my 
implementation state is all private to the trait / class, they should be able 
to access their own state but not see the state of the other class. This 
obviously also means that coloring should happen in the correct scope, rather 
than always in the scope of the class.

At the moment the coloring doesn't really make sense ... but then it didn't 
really matter that much until now. Although if you try to access state in a 
method coming from a trait, while coding in your IDE you'll probably have the 
impression you can access your local instvars. I don't really know what the 
semantics are there... but it seems a bit broken :)
