The idea of Traits (whether you agree with it or not) is about a more flexible way of assembling classes and reusing pieces of functionality. The paradigm is different from inheritance/interfaces so the A::whatever/B::whatever is really not relevant in this context unless I have completely misunderstood you but I don't think I have.
