+=head2 Adding additional methods
+
+B<Moose::Autobox> asks L<autobox> to use the B<Moose::Autobox::*> namespace 
+prefix so as to avoid stepping on the toes of other L<autobox> modules. This 
+means that if you want to add methods to a particular perl type 
+(i.e. - monkeypatch), then you must do this:
+
+  sub Moose::Autobox::SCALAR::bar { 42 }
+
+instead of this:
+
+  sub SCALAR::bar { 42 }
+
+as you would with vanilla autobox.
