In Java 8, interfaces can have default implementations of methods. If a class implements an interface and does not provide
an implementation for a default method, then the implementation from the interface is chosen. Traits behave the same but
with a major difference: the implementation from the trait is *always* used if the class declares the trait in its interface
-list *and* that it doesn't provide an implementation.
+list *and* that it doesn't provide an implementation *even* if a super class does.
This feature can be used to compose behaviors in an very precise way, in case you want to override the behavior of an
already implemented method.
