package Moose::Meta::Attribute::Custom::Moose;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> with Moose specific
-extensions.
+This class is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute> that provides
+additional Moose-specific functionality.
+
+To really understand this class, you will need to start with the
+L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation. This class can be understood
+as a set of additional features on top of the basic feature provided
+by that parent class.
+
+=head1 INHERITANCE
-For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an
-instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep
-introspection. To really understand this class, you need to refer
-to the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> documentation.
+C<Moose::Meta::Attribute> is a subclass of L<Class::MOP::Attribute>.
=head1 METHODS
-=head2 Overridden methods
+Many of the documented below override methods in
+L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add Moose specific features.
-These methods override methods in L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and add
-Moose specific features. You can safely assume though that they
-will behave just as L<Class::MOP::Attribute> does.
+=head2 Creation
=over 4
-=item B<new>
+=item B<< Moose::Meta::Attribute->new(%options) >>
+
+This method overrides the L<Class::MOP::Attribute> constructor.
+
+Many of the options below are described in more detail in the
+L<Moose::Manual::Attributes> document.
+
+It adds the following options to the constructor:
+
+=over 8
+
+=item * is => 'ro' or 'rw'
+
+This provides a shorthand for specifying the C<reader>, C<writer>, or
+C<accessor> names. If the attribute is read-only ('ro') then it will
+have a C<reader> method with the same attribute as the name.
+
+If it is read-write ('rw') then it will have an C<accessor> method
+with the same name. If you provide an explicit C<writer> for a
+read-write attribute, then you will have a C<reader> with the same
+name as the attribute, and a C<writer> with the name you provided.
+
+=item * isa => $type
+
+This option accepts a type. The type can be a string, which should be
+a type name. If the type name is unknown, it is assumed to be a class
+name.
+
+This option can also accept a L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object.
+
+If you I<also> provide a C<does> option, then your C<isa> option must
+be a class name, and that class must do the role specified with
+C<does>.
+
+=item * does => $role
+
+This is short-hand for saying that the attribute's type must be an
+object which does the named role.
+
+=item * coerce => $bool
+
+This option is only valid for objects with a type constraint
+(C<isa>). If this is true, then coercions will be applied whenever
+this attribute is set.

+You can make both this and the C<weak_ref> option true.

+=item * trigger => $sub
+
+This option accepts a subroutine reference, which will be called after
+the attribute is set.
+
+=item * required => $bool
+
+An attribute which is required must be provided to the constructor. An
+attribute which is required can also have a C<default> or C<builder>,
+which will satisfy its required-ness.
+
+A required attribute must have a C<default>, C<builder> or a
+non-C<undef> C<init_arg>
+
+=item * lazy => $bool
+
+A lazy attribute must have a C<default> or C<builder>. When an
+attribute is lazy, the default value will not be calculated until the

+=item * auto_deref => $bool
-=item B<install_accessors>
+If this is true, then the reader will dereference the value when it is

+attribute as an array or hash reference.
-=item B<install_delegation>
+=item * lazy_build => $bool

+Setting this to true makes the attribute lazy and provides a number of

+I<Attribute (x) does not pass the type constraint (Int) with 'forty-two'>
Before setting the value, a check is made on the type constraint of

Any coercion to convert values is done before checking the type constraint.
To check a value against a type constraint before setting it, fetch the
attribute instance using L<Class::MOP::Class/find_attribute_by_name>,
fetch the type_constraint from the attribute using L<Moose::Meta::Attribute/type_constraint>

-Moose attributes support type-constraint checking, weak reference
-creation and type coercion.
+These methods are not found in the superclass. They support features
+provided by Moose.

+This indicates whether the I<attribute itself> does the given

+trait name.
+
+Note that this checks the attribute itself, not its type constraint,
+so it is checking the attribute's metaclass and any traits applied to
+the attribute.
-=item B<interpolate_class>
+=item B<< Moose::Meta::Class->interpolate_class_and_new($name, %options) >>
-When called as a class method causes interpretation of the C<metaclass> and
+This is an alternate constructor that handles the C<metaclass> and
C<traits> options.
-=item B<clone_and_inherit_options>
+Effectively, this method is a factory that finds or creates the
+appropriate class for the given C<metaclass> and/or C<traits>.
-This is to support the C<has '+foo'> feature, it clones an attribute
-from a superclass and allows a very specific set of changes to be made
-to the attribute.
+Once it has the appropriate class, it will call C<< $class->new($name,

-Whitelist with options you can change. You can overload it in your custom

+This method supports the C<has '+foo'> feature. It does various bits
+of processing on the supplied C<%options> before ultimately calling
+the C<clone> method.
-=item B<has_type_constraint>
+One of its main tasks is to make sure that the C<%options> provided
+only includes the options returned by the

-Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint.
+=item B<< $attr->legal_options_for_inheritance >>
