+=head1 BUILDING CLASSES WITH MOOSE
+
+Moose makes every attempt to provide as much convience during class
+construction/definition, but still stay out of your way if you want
+it to. Here are some of the features Moose provides:
+
+Unless specified with C<extends>, any class which uses Moose will
+inherit from L<Moose::Object>.
+
+Moose will also manage all attributes (including inherited ones) that
+are defined with C<has>. And assuming that you call C<new> which is
+inherited from L<Moose::Object>, then this includes properly initializing
+all instance slots, setting defaults where approprtiate and performing any
+type constraint checking or coercion.
+
+For more details, see the ever expanding L<Moose::Cookbook>.
+
+=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
+
+Moose will export a number of functions into the class's namespace, which
+can then be used to set up the class. These functions all work directly
+on the current class.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item B<meta>
+
+This is a method which provides access to the current class's metaclass.
+
+=item B<extends (@superclasses)>
+
+This function will set the superclass(es) for the current class.
+
+This approach is recommended instead of C<use base>, because C<use base>
+actually C<push>es onto the class's C<@ISA>, whereas C<extends> will
+replace it. This is important to ensure that classes which do not have
+superclasses properly inherit from L<Moose::Object>.
+
+=item B<with ($role)>
+
+This will apply a given C<$role> to the local class. Role support is
+currently very experimental, see L<Moose::Role> for more details.
+
+=item B<has ($name, %options)>
+
+This will install an attribute of a given C<$name> into the current class.
+The list of C<%options> are the same as those provided by both
+L<Class::MOP::Attribute> and L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>, in addition to a
+few convience ones provided by Moose which are listed below:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item I<is =E<gt> 'rw'|'ro'>
+
+The I<is> option accepts either I<rw> (for read/write) or I<ro> (for read
+only). These will create either a read/write accessor or a read-only
+accessor respectively, using the same name as the C<$name> of the attribute.
+
+If you need more control over how your accessors are named, you can use the
+I<reader>, I<writer> and I<accessor> options inherited from L<Moose::Meta::Attribute>.
+
+=item I<isa =E<gt> $type_name>
+
+The I<isa> option uses Moose's type constraint facilities to set up runtime
+type checking for this attribute. Moose will perform the checks during class
+construction, and within any accessors. The C<$type_name> argument must be a
+string. The string can be either a class name, or a type defined using
+Moose's type defintion features.
+
+=back
+
+=item B<before $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>
+
+=item B<after $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>
+
+=item B<around $name|@names =E<gt> sub { ... }>
+
+This three items are syntactic sugar for the before, after and around method
+modifier features that L<Class::MOP> provides. More information on these can
+be found in the L<Class::MOP> documentation for now.
+
+=item B<super>
+
+The keyword C<super> is a noop when called outside of an C<override> method. In
+the context of an C<override> method, it will call the next most appropriate
+superclass method with the same arguments as the original method.
+
+=item B<override ($name, &sub)>
+
+An C<override> method, is a way of explictly saying "I am overriding this
+method from my superclass". You can call C<super> within this method, and
+it will work as expected. The same thing I<can> be accomplished with a normal
+method call and the C<SUPER::> pseudo-package, it is really your choice.
+
+=item B<inner>
+
+The keyword C<inner>, much like C<super>, is a no-op outside of the context of
+an C<augment> method. You can think of C<inner> as being the inverse of
+C<super>, the details of how C<inner> and C<augment> work is best described in
+the L<Moose::Cookbook>.
+
+=item B<augment ($name, &sub)>
+
+An C<augment> method, is a way of explictly saying "I am augmenting this
+method from my superclass". Once again, the details of how C<inner> and
+C<augment> work is best described in the L<Moose::Cookbook>.
+
+=item B<confess>
+
+This is the C<Carp::confess> function, and exported here beause I use it
+all the time. This feature may change in the future, so you have been warned.
+
+=item B<blessed>
+
+This is the C<Scalar::Uti::blessed> function, it is exported here beause I
+use it all the time. It is highly recommended that this is used instead of
+C<ref> anywhere you need to test for an object's class name.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 CAVEATS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+It should be noted that C<super> and C<inner> can B<not> be used in the same
+method. However, they can be combined together with the same class hierarchy,
+see F<t/014_override_augment_inner_super.t> for an example.
+
+The reason that this is so is because C<super> is only valid within a method
+with the C<override> modifier, and C<inner> will never be valid within an
+C<override> method. In fact, C<augment> will skip over any C<override> methods
+when searching for it's appropriate C<inner>.
+
+This might seem like a restriction, but I am of the opinion that keeping these
+two features seperate (but interoperable) actually makes them easy to use since
+their behavior is then easier to predict. Time will tell if I am right or not.
