Description

I suggest that we document the `_trait*` portion of the namespace of a `HasTraits` object as reserved for use by Traits itself: that is, users should avoid methods or traits whose name starts with "_trait".

To some extent this already happens, but if there's agreement on this, it would be good to document this clearly.
