Description

In section 2.10.1, Default conflict resolution, the text says "In this case, the default behavior is that methods from the last declared trait wins", when in fact the order they are implemented is what decides the winning method (and if this is what the wording was intending to say, then it isn't clear because the example has trait B declared after trait A as well as C implementing B after A).
