+=head2 loader_class
+
+Set the loader class to be instantiated when L</connection> is called.
+If the classname starts with "::", "DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader" is
+prepended. Defaults to L<DBIx::Class::Schema/storage_type> (which must
+start with "::" when using L<DBIx::Class::Schema::Loader>).
+
+This is mostly useful for subclassing existing loaders or in conjunction
+with L</dump_to_dir>.

Example in Synopsis above demonstrates a few common arguments. For

# XXX this only works for relative storage_type, like ::DBI ...

$impl->require or
croak qq/Could not load storage_type loader "$impl": / .
qq/"$UNIVERSAL::require::ERROR"/;
See L<DBIx::Class::Schema> for basic usage.
-If the final argument is a hashref, and it contains a key C<loader_options>,
-that key will be deleted, and its value will be used for the loader options,
-just as if set via the L</loader_options> method above.
+If the final argument is a hashref, and it contains the keys C<loader_options>
+or C<loader_class>, those keys will be deleted, and their values value will be

The actual auto-loading operation (the heart of this module) will be invoked
as soon as the connection information is defined.
