Why do you feel waiting is a better idea?

Unless you have some sort of language improvement in mind which is
going to become impossible if SMI is added, I'd argue the reverse:
Bigger changes should be introduced in bits and pieces if each piece
is individually useful.

Hi,

I think that waiting until we can add Traits/Mixins would be better than adding extension methods, glue classes, continuation methods, or static methods in interfaces (Traits would likely include static methods in interfaces). When I blogged about this stuff a while back: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=220783 There was not much enthusiasm for extension methods etc., but people did like Traits: http://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=220916
