""" Adds a "category" capability to Traits-based classes, similar to that
    provided by the Cocoa (Objective-C) environment for the Macintosh.

    You can use categories to extend an existing HasTraits class, as an
    alternative to subclassing. An advantage of categories over subclassing is
    that you can access the added members on instances of the original class,
    without having to change them to instances of a subclass. Unlike
    subclassing, categories do not allow overriding trait attributes.
