Yes. I did/do tend to mix up the terminology. When I used the word "trait", I was thinking of the Traits definition and Perl6 Roles.

But then I threw in the :trait syntax which is wrong! But that just serves to emphasis the (my?) confusion both with the naming and the P6 differentiation, which still leave me perplexed.

I'm still thinking about your other points. I may get back to you if I have questions arising :) Thanks.
