+
+This is a convience method for creating a new object of the class, and

+
+ sub MyClass::new {
+ my ($class, %param) = @_;

+
+Of course the ideal place for this would actually be in C<UNIVERSAL::>

=item B<construct_instance (%params)>
+This method is used to construct an instace structure suitable for
+C<bless>-ing into your package of choice. It works in conjunction
+with the Attribute protocol to collect all applicable attributes.
+
This will construct and instance using a HASH ref as storage
(currently only HASH references are supported). This will collect all
the applicable attributes and layout out the fields in the HASH ref,
in C<%params> or any default value or initializer found in the
attribute meta-object.
+=item B<clone_object ($instance, %params)>
+
+This is a convience method for cloning an object instance, then
+blessing it into the appropriate package. Ideally your class
+would call a C<clone> this method like so:

+ sub MyClass::clone {

+Of course the ideal place for this would actually be in C<UNIVERSAL::>

+
+=item B<clone_instance($instance, %params)>
+
+This method is a compliment of C<construct_instance> (which means if
+you override C<construct_instance>, you need to override this one too).
+
+This method will clone the C<$instance> structure created by the
+C<construct_instance> method, and apply any C<%params> passed to it
+to change the attribute values. The structure returned is (like with
+C<construct_instance>) an unC<bless>ed HASH reference, it is your
+responsibility to then bless this cloned structure into the right
+class.

correct name, and therefore show up correctly in stack traces and
such.
+=item B<alias_method ($method_name, $method)>
+
+This will take a C<$method_name> and CODE reference to that
+C<$method> and alias the method into the class's package.
+
+B<NOTE>:
+Unlike C<add_method>, this will B<not> try to name the
+C<$method> using B<Sub::Name>, it only aliases the method in
+the class's package.

-This will traverse the inheritance heirachy and return a list of HASH

+This will traverse the inheritance heirachy and return a list of all
