+== Todo for 2.0200
+
+=== Revise MetaRole API to reunify class/role metaroles:
+
+ apply_metaroles(
+ for => $meta,
+ roles => {
+ attribute => [...],
+ class => [...],
+ role_attribute => [ ... ],
+ }
+ );
+
+If the $meta is a class, we apply the roles to the class. If it's a role, we
+hold onto them and apply them as part of applying the role to a class.
+
+To make this all work nicely, we'll probably want to track the original role
+where a method was defined, just like we do with attributes currently. We'll
+also need to store method modifiers with their original role, which may mean
+adding some sort of Moose::Meta::Role::MethodModifier class.
+
+For each role-specific thing (methods, attributes, etc.) we should allow a
+role_attribute, role_method, etc. key. The common case will be that the
+metaroles are intended for the consuming class, but we should allow for
+metaroles on the role's metaobjects as well.
+
+=== Remove a bunch of deprecated crap
+
+See Moose::Manual::Delta for a list. Some of this is important to make merging
+Class::MOP into Moose core much easier. Other is just removing complexity
+needed to support ancient APIs.

+- local coerce
+
+[13:16] mst stevan: slight problem with coerce
+[13:16] mst I only get to declare it once
+[13:17] mst so if I'm trying to declare it cast-style per-source-class rather than per-target-class
+[13:17] mst I am extremely screwed
+[13:17] stevan yes
+[13:17] stevan they are not class specific
+[13:18] stevan they are attached to the type constraint itself
+[13:18] * stevan ponders anon-coercion-metaobjects
+[13:18] mst yes, that's fine
+[13:19] mst but when I declare a class
+[13:19] mst I want to be able to say "this class coerces to X type via <this>"
+[13:19] stevan yeah something like that

+[13:32] mst etc.
+[13:53] stevan hmm
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+-- Type Constraints refactor
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+
+- add support for locally scoped TC
+
+This would borrow from MooseX::TypeLibrary to prefix the TC with the name
+of the package. It would then be accesible from the outside as the fully
+scoped name, but the local attributes would use it first. (this would need support
+in the registry for this).
+
+- look into sugar extensions
+
+Use roles as sugar layer function providers (ala MooseX::AttributeHelpers). This
+would allow custom metaclasses to provide roles to extend the sugar syntax with.
+
+(NOTE: Talk to phaylon a bit more on this)
+
+- allow a switch of some kind to optionally turn TC checking off at runtime
+
+The type checks can get expensive and some people have suggested that allowing
+the checks to be turned off would be helpful for deploying into performance
+intensive systems. Perhaps this can actually be done as an option to make_immutable?
+
+- misc. minor bits
+
+* make the errors for TCs use ->message
+* look into localizing the messages too
+* make ANON TCs be lazy, so they can possibly be subsituted for the real thing later
+* make ANON TCs more introspectable
+* add this ...
+
+#
+# Type Definition
+#
+subtype 'Username',
+ from 'Str',
+ where { (/[a-z][a-z0-9]+/i or fail('Invalid character(s)'))
+ and (length($_) >= 5 or fail('Too short (less than 5 chars)'))
+ }
+on_fail { MyException->throw(value => $_[0], message => $_[1]) };
+
+# fail() will just return false unless the call is made via
+$tc->check_or_fail($value);
+
+* and then something like this:
+
+subtype Foo => as Bar => where { ... } => scoped => -global;
+subtype Foo => as Bar => where { ... } => scoped => -local;
+
+# or
+
+subtype Foo => as Bar => where { ... } => in __PACKAGE__ ;
+
+# or (not sure if it would be possible)
+
+my $Foo = subtype Bar => where { ... };
+
+# ----------
+
+[17:10] <autarch> stevan: it should do it if I pass coerce => 1 as part of the attribute definition
+[17:12] <stevan> autarch: what I am not 100% sure of is how to tell it to deep coerce and when to not
+[17:13] <stevan> cause a basic coerce is from A to B
+[17:13] <autarch> hmm
+[17:13] <stevan> which is valid for collection types too
+[17:13] <stevan> deep coercion is what you are asking for
+[17:13] <autarch> yeah
+[17:13] <stevan> so perhaps we add deep_coerce => 1
+[17:13] <stevan> which will do it
+[17:13] <autarch> that's fine for me
+[17:13] <stevan> k
+
+coerce_deeply => 1 # reads better
-- triggers
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+INTERNALS
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-[18:18] mst what I'd really like is just to say trigger => 'some_method'
+- rationalize all the get_X methods for classes (and roles)
-- attribute delgates
+We have get_attribute, get_attributes_list, get_all_attributes,
+etc. First, we need to make the method names consistent. If something
+returns an attribute vs a name, that needs to be clear from the method
+name. We also need to make sure that local vs. "entire inheritance
+chain" is clear from the name.
-Introduce capability to control the generated wrapper. Useful for when you have
-a wrapper that should implement the interface of it's child, but decorate with
-more metadata.
+This is mostly a CMOP change.
-- proxy attributes
+- Metaclass constructors
-[15:49] stevan you want a proxied attribute
-[15:49] stevan which looks like an attribute,
- talks like an attribute, smells
- like an attribute,.. but if you
- look behind the curtain,.. its
- over there.. in that other object

-- moosedoc
+There's a _lot_ of different conventions in here. Some things to consider:
-We certainly have enough meta-information to make pretty complete POD docs.
+* new vs _new
+* allowing new( 'name', %args ) vs ( name => 'name', %args )
+* Method->wrap vs Method->new
+
+- Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameter{izable,ized}
+
+The relationship between these two classes is very odd. In particular,
+this line in Parameterized is insane:
+
+ foreach my $type (Moose::Util::TypeConstraints::get_all_parameterizable_types()) {
-- compile time extends
+Why does it need to loop through all parameterizable types? Shouldn't
+it know which parameterizable type it "came from"?
-[00:39] sri but maybe a better syntax for compile time extends
-[00:39] stevan I have been pondering that actually
-[00:39] sri use Moose extends => Foo::Bar
-[00:40] stevan I think now that we have the Sub::Exporter stuff
- in, that kinda thing should be pretty easy
+- Moose::Util::TypeConstraints vs Moose::Meta::Type{Coercion,Constraint}
-nothingmuch notes that all the constructs should be supported in the entirety of the use clause:
+The Util module has _way_ too much functionality. It needs to be
+refactored so it's a thin sugar layer on top of the meta API. As it
+stands now, it does things like parse type names (and determine if
+they're valid), manage the registry, and much more.
- use Moose (
- has => foo (
- ....
- ),
- );
+- Anything with a _(meta)?class method
-and that if this usage style is used nothing is exported to the namespace.
+Every method that returns a class name needs to become a rw attribute
+that can be set via the constructor.
+- The Moose::Error stuff
-- default should dclone()
+This is sort of half-implemented. We still use Carp directly, and the
+internals can't decide how to throw an error (is it
+Moose->throw_error, __PACKAGE__->throw_error, what?).
+
+The internals need to be made consistent before we expose this to the
+rest of the world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TO PONDER
- Moose "strict" mode
use Moose 'strict'; This would allow us to have all sort of expensive tests
-which can be turned off in prod.
