Hmm. In principle I don't mind, but I think Thomas might not like that, and
he's recently done some significant work on the svn that needs to be
acknowledged. Whatever solution we choose should make optimal use of the time
both Thomas and I put into this.
As such, I'm not particularly unhappy with the setup as it is now. And Thomas
is free to cherrypick patches off my tree [1] as he sees fit.

I fully agree. But the past seems to have shown that the traits classes, as
infrastructure to the rest of the bindings, are mature and seem to have
required very little change.
