Right, and related to that we have freezable traits
http://scg.unibe.ch/scgbib?_k=NNRwidu5&query=freezable+traits&display=abstract
Which influenced this RFC for PHP: http://wiki.php.net/rfc/nonbreakabletraits
And there are traits based on lexical nesting, which does not seem to be applicable to PHP at all:

However, it still comes with a relatively high complexity, and a lot new concepts...
The last time we had a lengthy discussion on this, and the conclusion was, people are afraid of this
additional complexity.
That was my reason to design grafts.
