That! I'm also wondering why the default value of a const (and a property) could not be changed by the class importing the trait? This sometimes hits me and the original RFC doesn't explain why this is needed. I added Stefan Marr in the loop in case he still checks this email address and would like to shed some light on those questions. WDYT Stefan? And I'd also be happy to see an implementation of this before voting, to be sure this is something that can be achieved without too many troubles. Do you think this is possible? Cheers, Nicolas
