This isn't actually true, because trait method aliases create an *extra*

Yes, in general, yes.
Composition is great, and I use it most of the time.
I still do have some cases where I think that base classes (with
private properties) are justified, and then some cases where either
traits or multiple inheritance would be justified.
We could agree to se
This cannot work for a number of reasons:
- a trait is not a type, and does not practically exist at runtime
- trait defined API can be imported with changed/aliased names, breaking
therefore the contact defined in the interface
- due to the previous point, inheriting a type from a trait become
