'''Traits''' are a type of [[abstract type]], used as a "simple conceptual model for structuring [[object oriented]] programs."[http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~black/publications/TR_CSE_02-012.pdf]. Traits are similar to [[mixin]]s, but may include definitions for class methods. Traits were proposed for inclusion in [[Smalltalk]], and are found in [[Perl 6]] and [[Scala]]. And "module mixins" in [[Ruby]] is like traits in some degree.
