=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This is a set of utility functions to help working with Moose classes, and
-is used internally by Moose itself. The goal is to provide useful functions
-that for both Moose users and Moose extenders (MooseX:: authors).
-
-This is a relatively new addition to the Moose tool chest, so ideas,
-suggestions and contributions to this collection are most welcome.
-See the L<TODO> section below for a list of ideas for possible functions
-to write.
+This module provides a set of utility functions. Many of these
+functions are intended for use in Moose itself or MooseX modules, but
+some of them may be useful for use in your own code.
=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
=over 4
-=item B<find_meta ($class_or_obj)>
+=item B<find_meta($class_or_obj)>
+
+This method takes a class name or object and attempts to find a
+metaclass for the class, if one exists. It will not create one if it
+does not yet exist.
-This will attempt to locate a metaclass for the given C<$class_or_obj>
-and return it.
+=item B<does_role($class_or_obj, $role_name)>
-=item B<does_role ($class_or_obj, $role_name)>
+Returns true if C<$class_or_obj> does the given C<$role_name>.
-Returns true if C<$class_or_obj> can do the role C<$role_name>.
+The class must already have a metaclass for this to work.
-=item B<search_class_by_role ($class_or_obj, $role_name)>
+=item B<search_class_by_role($class_or_obj, $role_name)>
-Returns first class in precedence list that consumed C<$role_name>.
+Returns the first class in the class's precedence list that does
+C<$role_name>, if any.
-=item B<apply_all_roles ($applicant, @roles)>
+The class must already have a metaclass for this to work.
-Given an C<$applicant> (which can somehow be turned into either a
-metaclass or a metarole) and a list of C<@roles> this will do the
-right thing to apply the C<@roles> to the C<$applicant>. This is
-actually used internally by both L<Moose> and L<Moose::Role>, and the
-C<@roles> will be preprocessed through L<Data::OptList::mkopt>
-to allow for the additional arguments to be passed.
+=item B<apply_all_roles($applicant, @roles)>
+
+This function applies one or more roles to the given C<$applicant> The
+applicant can be a role name, class name, or object.
+
+The C<$applicant> must already have a metaclass object.
+
+The list of C<@roles> should be a list of names, each of which can be
+followed by an optional hash reference of options (C<exclude> and
+C<alias>).
=item B<get_all_attribute_values($meta, $instance)>
-Returns the values of the C<$instance>'s fields keyed by the attribute names.
+Returns a hash reference containing all of the C<$instance>'s
+attributes. The keys are attribute names.
=item B<get_all_init_args($meta, $instance)>
-Returns a hash reference where the keys are all the attributes' C<init_arg>s
-and the values are the instance's fields. Attributes without an C<init_arg>
-will be skipped.
+Returns a hash reference containing all of the C<init_arg> values for
+the instance's attributes. The values are the associated attribute
+values. If an attribute does not have a defined C<init_arg>, it is
+skipped.
+
+This could be useful in cloning an object.
=item B<resolve_metaclass_alias($category, $name, %options)>
=item B<resolve_metatrait_alias($category, $name, %options)>
-Resolve a short name like in e.g.
+Resolves a short name to a full class name. Short names are often used
+when specifying the C<metaclass> or C<traits> option for an attribute:
has foo => (
metaclass => "Bar",
);
-to a full class name.
-
-=item B<add_method_modifier ($class_or_obj, $modifier_name, $args)>
+The name resolution mechanism is covered in L<Moose/Trait Name
+Resolution>.
