Traits are a simple composition mechanism for structuring object-oriented programs. A Trait is essentially a parameterized set of methods; it serves as a behavioral building block for classes and is the primitive unit of code reuse. With Traits, classes are still organized in a single inheritance hierarchy, but they can make use of Traits to specify the incremental difference in behavior with respect to their superclasses. Unlike mixins and multiple inheritance, Traits do not employ inheritance as the composition operator. Instead, Trait composition is based on a set of composition operators that are complementary to single inheritance and result in better composition properties.

Whatever:hover is a small script that automatically patches :hover, :active and :focus for IE6, IE7 and IE8 quirks, letting you use them like you would in any other browser. Version 3 introduces ajax support, meaning that any html that gets inserted into the document via javascript will also trigger :hover, :active and :focus styles in IE.

This module provides basic functions for handling mime-types. It can handle matching mime-types against a list of media-ranges. See section 14.1 of the HTTP specification RFC 2616 for a complete explanation.

dbscript is a web development framework, it helps php programmers take advantage of efficient design patterns and idioms from other dynamic languages and frameworks. for example, the Mapper and Route classes work together to map actions and records to distinct urls. among the many advantages of routes are the automatic named routes: url_for( resource ). restful urls, http-style controllers, atompub/html introspection documents and content-negotiation are among the sophisticated features of this programmer-centric development tool. the framework is a database abstraction layer, with built-in adapters for PostgreSQL and MySQL.
