I thought before merging code it would be useful to have some discussion on if the code is actually doing what we want. If it's based on http://wiki.php.net/rfc/horizontalreuse then for example I can see some potential issues for bytecode caching related to renaming and changing visibility.
Sure, the discussion will be necessary to fix the final design of the remaining rough edges like choice of keywords.
The current state of the code is basically documented by the test case.
They cover all syntactical features and their implications for using traits.
However, this functionality is covered by the Traits part of the RFC as well.
Also, it is not clear that we want grafts there at all, some aspects of them seem to get too hairy, esp. $this issue or statics.
Personally, I see question of Traits or Grafts as an exclusive one. It would not do any good to have both of them. And, grafts have not been implemented.
Best regards
