 Class::MOP::Instance - Instance Meta Object
 
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-  # for the most part, this protocol is internal 
-  # and not for public usage, but this how one 
-  # might use it
-  
-  package Foo;
-  
-  use strict;
-  use warnings;
-  use metaclass (
-      ':instance_metaclass'  => 'ArrayBasedStorage::Instance',
-  );
-  
-  # now Foo->new produces blessed ARRAY ref based objects
-
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-This is a sub-protocol which governs instance creation 
-and access to the slots of the instance structure.
+The meta instance is used by attributes for low level storage.
 
-This may seem like over-abstraction, but by abstracting 
-this process into a sub-protocol we make it possible to 
-easily switch the details of how an object's instance is 
-stored with minimal impact. In most cases just subclassing 
-this class will be all you need to do (see the examples; 
-F<examples/ArrayBasedStorage.pod> and 
+Using this API generally violates attribute encapsulation and is not
+recommended, instead look at L<Class::MOP::Attribute/get_value>,
+L<Class::MOP::Attribute/set_value> for the recommended way to fiddle with
+attribute values in a generic way, independent of how/whether accessors have
+been defined. Accessors can be found using L<Class::MOP::Class/get_attribute>.
