Maybe "applied with"?
: - trait : A compile time sticky note to be placed on a wide variety of things. : Used with C<is>.
Fine. (Though I like to hyphenate "compile-time" when it's an adjective, and not when it's a noun. Same for "run-time", just to be consistent.)
I would really, *really* like to kill the whole "It's a sticky note!" metaphor dead. If I understand the changes proposed in properties as part of the whole "shift to roles" thing they aren't anything like sticky notes at all, as they dynamically subclass the object.
