=head1 NAME

Squirrel - Use Mouse, unless Moose is already loaded. (DEPRECATED)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Squirrel;

    has goggles => (
        is => "rw", 
    );

=head1 DEPRECATION

C<Squirrel> is deprecated. C<Any::Moose> provides the same functionality,
but better. :)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

L<Moose> and L<Squirrel> are THE BEST FRIENDS, but if L<Moose> isn't there
L<Squirrel> will hang out with L<Mouse> as well.

When your own code doesn't actually care whether or not you use L<Moose> or
L<Mouse> you can use either, and let your users decide for you.

This lets you run with minimal dependencies and have a faster startup, but if
L<Moose> is already in use you get all the benefits of using that
(transformability, introspection, more opportunities for code reuse, etc).

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<Any::Moose>
