Comment for bug triage: IMO it is important have this being done for 1.0.

Legacy code in jetpack makes use of traits implementation that tried to do too many things at the same time, in particular it was providing mechanics for object composition and private property hiding. Since scope of the things it tried to do was quite big, it added unnecessary complexity by introduced magical properties like _public that were representing secured `this`. In addition sharing private properties between components with in the module scope got complicated. For that reason implementation got split into two diff util libs, light-traits for object composition and cortex for private property hiding.

This bug is supposed to migrate all the legacy code from old traits to the light-traits and cortex where needed.

Won't fix since bug 704357 suggests better alternative. So we should get rid of both traits.
