[gitmo/MooseX-Role-Parameterized.git] / TODO

+ Anonymous roles need work!
    - We should be able to say Moose::Meta::Role->create_anon_role.
    - Anonymous roles should not have the same strictures as regular roles
        * For example, regular roles have to deal with imported functions;
          anonymous roles shouldn't have to.
    - Role exclusion is done by name, so anonymous roles should not even be
      checked. Fix this and t/003-apply.t will pass all of its tests. (Start
      by just commenting it out :))
    - The get_method_map and add_method overrides in Meta::Role::Parameterized
      are a hack. Fix them correctly in Moose.

+ We need to reimplement all of the keywords of Moose::Role. So far I have "has"
  (and added "method" for various reasons). They need to operate on
  $CURRENT_METACLASS instead of caller.

+ There is literally zero documentation.

+ A good motivating example. Different serialization formats sucks.

+ Moose::Exporter should have a with_meta option which does with_caller but also
  initializes the metaclass, since that's the most common case for us (and
  probably others).

+ Figure out a plan for alias, excludes, and other parameters that roles
  currently support.
    - I'm fine with saying either of:
        * "You can't have exclusion; make it a parameter"
        * "You cannot have parameters named alias or excludes; they
          already have meaning"
    - The current implementation is closer to the latter. (we pass the args to
      both parameter construction and parameterized-role application)
    - We don't enforce that parameters cannot be named alias or excludes though.

+ Parameters is an empty superclass. Is there anything interesting we can stick
  in there?
