Cool.
So, the testing issue is biting you too. What to do? Are you testing
both versions of the traits? I think this is probably the better way to
go, but more work.

Hmm. OK.
Since we're both working on this, how should we stage this work?
Should I check what I have in, and then proceed immediately to the
testsuite revamp? Once that is done I can add testcases for the new
traits. I would like to work on parallel stuff if possible.
