I do not understand your response. I want to know whether there is any
case in which code like x.getFloatTrait(y) would return something that
is not equivalent to a real number. The answer depends on what

  if requested trait's computed value cannot be converted to a float

means. I do not understand what it means that such a value cannot be
converted to a float (I also do not understand what a trait's computed
value might be). It is unclear to me why this is listed as "The comment
resulted in some discussion, but no change seemed to be asked for", I
would have thought "... please change the draft ..." is clear enough.
