-# - We need to store one Immutable Transformer instance per Metaclass

=head1 INHERITANCE
This method clones an existing object instance. Any parameters you
provide are will override existing attribute values in the object.

+This is a convenience method for cloning an object instance, then
blessing it into the appropriate package.
You could implement a clone method in your class, using this method:
attributes. Any existing attributes that are already set will be
overwritten.
-=item B<< $metaclass->new_object(%params) >
+Before reblessing the instance, this method will call
+C<rebless_instance_away> on the instance's current metaclass. This method
+will be passed the instance, the new metaclass, and any parameters
+specified to C<rebless_instance>. By default, C<rebless_instance_away>
+does nothing; it is merely a hook.

would dispatch to.
+=item B<< $metaclass->add_method($method_name, $method) >>
+
+This method takes a method name and a subroutine reference, and adds
+the method to the class.
+
+The subroutine reference can be a L<Class::MOP::Method>, and you are
+strongly encouraged to pass a meta method object instead of a code
+reference. If you do so, that object gets stored as part of the
+class's method map directly. If not, the meta information will have to
+be recreated later, and may be incorrect.
+
+If you provide a method object, this method will clone that object if
+the object's package name does not match the class name. This lets us
+track the original source of any methods added from other classes
+(notably Moose roles).
+
+=item B<< $metaclass->remove_method($method_name) >>
+
+Remove the named method from the class. This method returns the
+L<Class::MOP::Method> object for the method.
+
+=item B<< $metaclass->method_metaclass >>
+
+Returns the class name of the method metaclass, see
+L<Class::MOP::Method> for more information on the method metaclass.
+
+=item B<< $metaclass->wrapped_method_metaclass >>
+
+Returns the class name of the wrapped method metaclass, see
+L<Class::MOP::Method::Wrapped> for more information on the wrapped
+method metaclass.
