I think Attribute needs to be refactored in some way to better support roles.

There are several possible ways to do this, all of them seem plausible to me.

The first approach would be to change the attribute class to allow it to be
queried about the methods it would install.

Then we instantiate the attribute in the role, and instead of deferring the
arguments, we just make an C<unpack>ish method.

Then we can interrogate the attr when adding it to the role, and generate stub
methods for all the methods it would produce.

A second approach is kinda like the Immutable hack: wrap the attr in an
anonmyous class that disables part of its interface.

A third method would be to create an Attribute::Partial object that would
provide a more role-ish behavior, and to do this independently of the actual
Attribute class.

Something similar can be done for method modifiers, but I think that's even simpler.



The benefits of doing this are:

* Much better introspection of roles

* More correctness in many cases (in my opinion anyway)

* More roles are more usable as interface declarations, without having to split
  them into two pieces (one for the interface with a bunch of requires(), and
  another for the actual impl with the problematic attrs (and stub methods to
  fix the accessors) and method modifiers (dunno if this can even work at all)
