=head1 DESCRIPTION
Moose is an extension of the Perl 5 object system.

Yes, I know there has been an explosion recently of new ways to

can then be used to set up the class. These functions all work directly
on the current class.
This approach is recommended instead of C<use base>, because C<use base>

type checking for this attribute. Moose will perform the checks during class
construction, and within any accessors. The C<$type_name> argument must be a

-=head1 ROAD MAP
-
-We have developed a roadmap for the next several releases of Moose.
-Development is currently moving at a rapid pace, so this roughly
-represents the next few weeks of Moose.
-
-=over 4
-
-=item 0.12
-
-This is the current release, it addresses some inconsistencies with
-Role composition and method modifiers. As an intermediate step, it
-removed method modifiers from Roles entirely, and roles can only
-compose methods and attributes.
-
-=item 0.13
-
-With this release will be adding a new keyword which will allow a
-finer grained form of reuse than roles. This keyword will form the
-basis of the features of the next few releases.
-
-=item 0.14
-
-With this release we will introduce a deferred version of method
-modifiers and a package/class-like container to hold them. In
-conjunction with the new keyword from 0.13, this will bring back
-the ability to compose groups of method modifiers which was
-removed in 0.12.
-
-=item 0.15
-
-With this release we will attempt to return the ability for Roles
-to compose method modifiers, by using the features introduced in
-0.13 and 0.14.
-
-It is our intention that this release will bring Roles to a
-fully stable level.
-
-=item 0.16 - 0.20
-
-The focus of these releases will be to bring the optimization
-capabilities of class immutability which we introduced in
-Class::MOP 0.30. I will get into the details of this as we
-get closer to it.
