I had a look at both approaches and yes, the traits can be considered
boilerplate. But, they are not complex and they just list method signatures that
each version's types already implement functionality wise and they get us rid of
a lot of dispatch sites. The implementation turns out cleaner as there is less
parameter threading throughout call chains, etc. Overall, it seems more
scalable.

On the other hand, there are indeed more abstractions and type indirections to
understand in Eliot's code. I.e. there are advantages and disadvantages to both
approaches.

That said, please engage with Eliot's proposal, it is not as off as your reply
implies and dismissing it right away is not what I'd like to see in this
situation.
