Re: How to build a real Trait thing without exclusion and renaming

Hello Stanislav, as much as what you say is true, it forces you to type a lot which is error prone. So when you want to make a function public then you need to do: function whatever() { A::whatever(); } And actually you have to repeat the protocol and there the fun begins. Not to begin even discussing the overhead of an additional userspace method call that does not do anything. Aliasing is pretty helpful. But as Andi said you might disagree. marcus Thursday, February 28, 2008, 8:21:22 AM, you wrote: >> This is just an example of being able to alias a method from a trait. >> Assuming two traits would use the same name this would give you the >> ability to include it under a different name. >> The point is we can alias but we can not remove. > That's what I am asking - why alias?
