+# as discussed on irc between ether and t0m
+# <@ether> t0m: it's known. I asked doy about this a day or two ago as well
+# <@ether> the problem is that the requires() is evaluated immediately, but
+#          the attributes are not added until the final composition into
+#          the class
+# <@ether> I suppose the solution would be to compose the attributes into
+#          the "thing" that results from TesT::Role::ProvidesThing
+#          composing RequiresThing, rather than it being delayed until the
+#          final composition, but I suspect that requires a lot of heavy
+#          work in the core
+# <@ether> it's frustrating because it pretty much means you can't put a
+#          'requires' statement in anything but a class
+# <@ether> so you can't compose a role built from other roles in order to
+#          build an interface, and guarantee that interface was built
+#          correctly with the requires() assertions
