Hooks aren't _quite_ like traits or mixins or anything else. You can apply the same Hook multiple times and pass values between them. That's what makes them powerful.
Yeah, definitely a different beast. I've done things with what's basically dynamic scope trickery before now, though it didn't look exactly like hooks.
I still want traits because I've got very fond of doing class-with-read-only-members type stuff and being able to compose functionality together works really nicely in that regard
(nonetheless, I very much appreciate your efforts on elucidating hooks - I think most of the reason I'm replying this confidently is as combination of your articles and the reference docs :)
