OK, thanks. I didn't know about these discussions about __traits() and I see
now why Proxy doesn't work. So there's a plan to allow __traits() to bypass
access rules to provide more useful introspection. That's good. Maybe we should
have waited for this change before switching to a new implementation of
`Unique`.
