@class wxAppTraits

The wxAppTraits class defines various configurable aspects of a wxApp.
You can access it using wxApp::GetTraits() function and you can create your
implementation of the wxAppTraits interface.

It's normally the same for wxBase and wxGUI except in the case of wxMac
and wxCocoa.
- @todo the real function returns a reference to wxStandardPathsBase;
- user looking at these docs will write code:
- wxStandardPaths &ref = ...->GetStandardPaths();
- which won't compile...
+ @note
+ The returned reference is to a @c wxStandardPathsBase class but you
+ can consider it to be equivalent to wxStandardPaths (which is documented).
