+This creates the appropriate structure needed for the instance and blesses it.
=item B<bless_instance_structure ($instance_structure)>
This does just exactly what it says it does.
+This method has been deprecated but remains for compatibility reasons. None of
+the subclasses of L<Class::MOP::Instance> ever bothered to actually make use of
+it, so it was deemed unnecessary fluff.

=item B<clone_instance ($instance_structure)>
-This too does just exactly what it says it does.
+Creates a shallow clone of $instance_structure.
