-=item B<Class::MOP::load_class($class_name, \%options?)>
-
-This will load the specified C<$class_name>, if it is not already
-loaded (as reported by C<is_class_loaded>). This function can be used
-in place of tricks like C<eval "use $module"> or using C<require>
-unconditionally.
-
-If the module cannot be loaded, an exception is thrown.
-
-You can pass a hash reference with options as second argument. The
-only option currently recognized is C<-version>, which will ensure
-that the loaded class has at least the required version.
-
-For historical reasons, this function explicitly returns a true value.
-
-=item B<Class::MOP::is_class_loaded($class_name, \%options?)>
-
-Returns a boolean indicating whether or not C<$class_name> has been
-loaded.
-
-This does a basic check of the symbol table to try and determine as
-best it can if the C<$class_name> is loaded, it is probably correct
-about 99% of the time, but it can be fooled into reporting false
-positives. In particular, loading any of the core L<IO> modules will
-cause most of the rest of the core L<IO> modules to falsely report
-having been loaded, due to the way the base L<IO> module works.
-
-You can pass a hash reference with options as second argument. The
-only option currently recognized is C<-version>, which will ensure
-that the loaded class has at least the required version.

+Some utility functions (such as C<Class::MOP::load_class>) that were
