method is used internally by C<initialize> and should never be called
from outside of that method really.

+
+This method is called as the very last thing in the

=head2 Object instance construction and cloning
=item B<clone_object ($instance, %params)>
This is a convience method for cloning an object instance, then
-blessing it into the appropriate package. Ideally your class
-would call a C<clone> this method like so:
+blessing it into the appropriate package. This method will call
+C<clone_instance>, which performs a shallow copy of the object,
+see that methods documentation for more details. Ideally your
+class would call a C<clone> this method like so:
sub MyClass::clone {
my ($self, %param) = @_;
=item B<clone_instance($instance, %params)>
This method is a compliment of C<construct_instance> (which means if
-you override C<construct_instance>, you need to override this one too).
+you override C<construct_instance>, you need to override this one too),
+and clones the instance shallowly.
+
+The cloned structure returned is (like with C<construct_instance>) an
+unC<bless>ed HASH reference, it is your responsibility to then bless
+this cloned structure into the right class (which C<clone_object> will
+do for you).
-This method will clone the C<$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.
+As of 0.11, this method will clone the C<$instance> structure shallowly,
+as opposed to the deep cloning implemented in prior versions. After much
+thought, research and discussion, I have decided that anything but basic
+shallow cloning is outside the scope of the meta-object protocol. I
+think Yuval "nothingmuch" Kogman put it best when he said that cloning
+is too I<context-specific> to be part of the MOP.

correct name, and therefore show up correctly in stack traces and
such.
+=item B<add_method_modifier ($modifier_type, $code)>
+
+=item B<alias_method ($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.
