# now you can just use the class as normal
class technique. What follows is a brief explaination of the code
found in this module.
-First step is to subclass B<Class::MOP::Class> and override the
-C<construct_instance> method. The default C<construct_instance>
-will create a HASH reference using the parameters and attribute
-default values. Since inside-out objects don't use HASH refs, and
-use package variables instead, we need to write code to handle
-this difference.
-
-The next step is to create the subclass of B<Class::MOP::Attribute>
-and override the method generation code. This requires overloading
-C<generate_accessor_method>, C<generate_reader_method>,
-C<generate_writer_method> and C<generate_predicate_method>. All
-other aspects are taken care of with the existing B<Class::MOP::Attribute>
-infastructure.
+We must create a subclass of B<Class::MOP::Instance> and override
+the slot operations. This requires
+overloading C<get_slot_value>, C<set_slot_value>, C<slot_initialized>, and
+C<initialize_slot>, as well as their inline counterparts. Additionally we
+overload C<add_slot> in order to initialize the global hash containing the
+actual slot values.
And that is pretty much all. Of course I am ignoring need for
inside-out objects to be C<DESTROY>-ed, and some other details as
-well, but this is an example. A real implementation is left as an
-exercise to the reader.
