+=head1 WARNING
+
+=for comment mst wrote this warning for MooseX::Declare, and ether adapted it for here:
+
+B<Warning:> Devel::Declare is a giant bag of crack
+originally implemented by mst with the goal of upsetting the perl core
+developers so much by its very existence that they implemented proper
+keyword handling in the core.
+
+As of perl5 version 14, this goal has been achieved, and modules such
+as L<Devel::CallParser>, L<Function::Parameters>, and L<Keyword::Simple> provide
+mechanisms to mangle perl syntax that don't require hallucinogenic
+drugs to interpret the error messages they produce.
+
+If you are using something that uses Devel::Declare, please for the love
+of kittens use something else:

+
+Instead of L<TryCatch>, use L<Try::Tiny>

+
+Instead of L<Method::Signatures>, use
+L<real subroutine signatures|perlsub/Signatures> (requires perl 5.22) or L<Moops>
