Don't override (or probably even call) this method. Instead, you can define
extends 'Parent::Class';
-Declares base class
+Declares base class. Multiple superclasses can be passed for multiple
+inheritance (but please use roles instead).
+
+Calling extends more than once will REPLACE your superclasses, not add to
+them like 'use base' would.

=item * coerce
+This Moose feature is not yet supported
+
+=begin hide
+
Takes a coderef which is meant to coerce the attribute. The basic idea is to
do something like the following:
L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>
+=end hide
+
=item * trigger
Takes a coderef which will get called any time the attribute is set. Coderef
will be invoked against the object with the new value as an argument.
+Note that Moose also passes the old value, if any; this feature is not yet
+supported.
+
L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>
=item * default
-Takes a coderef which will get called to populate an attribute.
+Takes a coderef which will get called with $self as its only argument
+to populate an attribute if no value is supplied to the constructor - or
+if the attribute is lazy, when the attribute is first retrieved if no
+value has yet been provided.
+
+Note that if your default is fired during new() there is no guarantee that
+other attributes have been populated yet so you should not rely on their
+existence.
L<Sub::Quote aware|/SUB QUOTE AWARE>
=item * predicate
-Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has been set.
+Takes a method name which will return true if an attribute has a value.
A common example of this would be to call it C<has_$foo>, implying that the
object has a C<$foo> set.
=item * builder
-Takes a method name which will be called to create the attribute.
+Takes a method name which will be called to create the attribute - functions
+exactly like default except that instead of calling
+
+ $default->($self);
+
+Moo will call
+
+ $self->$builder;
=item * clearer

=head1 SUB QUOTE AWARE
L<Sub::Quote/quote_sub> allows us to create coderefs that are "inlineable,"
giving us a handy, XS-free speed boost. Any option that is L<Sub::Quote>
aware can take advantage of this.
-=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES
+=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES WITH MOOSE
You can only compose one role at a time. If your application is large or
complex enough to warrant complex composition, you wanted L<Moose>.
need complex types, just make a library of coderefs, or better yet, functions
that return quoted subs.
-C<initializer> is not supported in core, but with an extension it is supported.
+C<initializer> is not supported in core since the author considers it to be a
+bad idea but may be supported by an extension in future.
There is no meta object. If you need this level of complexity you wanted
-L<Moose>.
+L<Moose> - Moo succeeds at being small because it explicitly does not
+provide a metaprotocol.
-No support for C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, or C<augment>.
+No support for C<super>, C<override>, C<inner>, or C<augment> - override can
+be handled by around albeit with a little more typing, and the author considers
+augment to be a bad idea.
L</default> only supports coderefs, because doing otherwise is usually a
mistake anyway.
C<lazy_build> is not supported per se, but of course it will work if you
manually set all the options it implies.
-C<auto_deref> is not supported.
+C<auto_deref> is not supported since the author considers it a bad idea.
-C<documentation> is not supported.
+C<documentation> is not supported since it's a very poor replacement for POD.
