I'm trying to define a trait that uses the corresponding companion object, that is, the componion object of the class using the trait.

for example, I have:

:paste

class Parent {
  def callMyCompanion = print(Parent.salute)
}

object Parent {
  def salute = "Hello from Parent companion object"
}

class Child extends Parent {

}

object Child {
  def salute = "Hello from Child companion object"
}

And then I create a parent object:

scala> val p = new Parent()
p: Parent = Parent@1ecf669

scala> p.callMyCompanion
Hello from Parent companion object

But with a child:

scala> val c = new Child()
c: Child = Child@4fd986

scala> c.callMyCompanion
Hello from Parent companion object

I'd like to get: Hello from Child companion object

How can I achieve it???
