Traits library

Your solution is almost right. If you want an object instantiated from a
trait to serve as the prototype of other objects, you should instantiate it
using "Object.create"
"Trait.create" will generate an object whose methods are 'bound' (i.e. their
"this"-binding is fixed). So, self-sends in this object won't delegate back
to "child" objects.

A good way to think of it is that Object.create generates 'plain' Javascript
objects whereas Trait.create generates 'final' objects.

Cheers,
Tom
