I'm one of the authors and this features was experimental and since  
adrian rewrote entirely traits to have them
much better implemented we did not provide that functionality but it  
should be easy to reimplement with a bit of metaprog magic.
But we will not do it because too busy.

Because in march 2003 we were brainstorming and nathanael hacked and  
pacthed squeak to make traits worked. and in 2006
everything was reimplemented and this is much better. :)
