=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to declare class attributes in exactly the same
-way as you declare object attributes, except using C<class_has()>
-instead of C<has()>. It is also possible to make these attributes
-immutable (and faster) just as you can with normal Moose attributes.
+way as object attributes, using C<class_has()> instead of C<has()>.
You can use any feature of Moose's attribute declarations, including
-overriding a parent's attributes, delegation (C<handles>), and
-attribute metaclasses, and it should just work.
+overriding a parent's attributes, delegation (C<handles>), attribute traits,
+etc. All features should just work. The one exception is the "required" flag,
+which is not allowed for class attributes.
-The accessors methods for class attribute may be called on the class
+The accessor methods for class attribute may be called on the class
directly, or on objects of that class. Passing a class attribute to

+the constructor will not set that attribute.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
This class exports one function when you use it, C<class_has()>. This
works exactly like Moose's C<has()>, but it declares class attributes.
-One little nit is that if you include C<no Moose> in your class, you
-won't remove the C<class_has()> function. To do that you must include
-C<no MooseX::ClassAttribute> as well.
+One little nit is that if you include C<no Moose> in your class, you won't
+remove the C<class_has()> function. To do that you must include C<no
+MooseX::ClassAttribute> as well. Or you can just use L<namespace::autoclean>
+instead.
-If you want to use this module to create class attributes in I<other>
-classes, you can call the C<process_class_attribute()> function like
-this:
+=head2 Implementation and Immutability
- MooseX::ClassAttribute::process_class_attribute( $package, ... );
+This module will add a role to your class's metaclass, See
+L<MooseX::ClassAttribute::Trait::Class> for details. This role
+provides introspection methods for class attributes.
-The first argument is the package which will have the class attribute,
-and the remaining arguments are the same as those passed to
-C<class_has()>.
+Class attributes themselves do the
+L<MooseX::ClassAttribute::Trait::Attribute> role.
-=head2 Implementation and Immutability
+There is also a L<MooseX::ClassAttribute::Meta::Method::Accessor>
+which provides part of the inlining implementation for class
+attributes.
+
+=head2 Cooperation with Metaclasses and Traits
+
+This module should work with most attribute metaclasses and traits,
+but it's possible that conflicts could occur. This module has been
+tested to work with Moose's native traits.
+
+=head2 Class Attributes in Roles
+
+You can add a class attribute to a role. When that role is applied to a class,
+the class will have the relevant class attributes added. Note that attribute
+defaults will be calculated when the class attribute is composed into the
+class.
+
+=head1 DONATIONS
-Underneath the hood, this class creates one new class for each class
-which has class attributes and sets up delegating methods in the class
-for which you're creating class attributes. You don't need to worry
-about this too much, except when it comes to making a class immutable.
+If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module,
+please consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of
+free time creating free software, and would appreciate any support
+you'd care to offer.
-Since the class attributes are not really stored in your class, you
-need to make the container class immutable as well as your own ...
+Please note that B<I am not suggesting that you must do this> in order
+for me to continue working on this particular software. I will
+continue to do so, inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it
+interests me.
- __PACKAGE__->meta()->make_immutable();
- MooseX::ClassAttribute::container_class()->meta()->make_immutable();
+Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work
+on this software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can
+consider working on free software full time, which seems unlikely at
+best.
-I<This may change in the future!>
