Abstract
This chapter looks at some of the more advanced features associated with the use of traits. The chapter looks at the way in which Traits can be dynamically wrapped around an instance providing a form of Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) known as stackable traits. We then look at the role Traits can play in developing reusable behaviour that simplifies the development of new types. Universal traits used with Value Types are then discussed. The chapter concludes by considering the way in which traits can be used to define a restricted set of values for a given type.
