=head1 NAME
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module is meant to be loaded as a role from Moose-based classes
-it will add five methods and five attributes to assist you with the loading
+it will add five methods and four attributes to assist you with the loading
and handling of plugins and extensions for plugins. I understand that this may
pollute your namespace, however I took great care in using the least ambiguous
names possible.
their consuming classes, so it is important to watch for load order as plugins can
and will overload each other. You may also add attributes through has.
-Even thouch C<override> will work in basic cases, I STRONGLY discourage it's use
+Please note that when you laod at runtime you lose the ability to wrap C<BUILD>
+and roles using C<has> will not go through comile time checks like C<required>
+and <default>.
+
+Even thouch C<override> will work , I STRONGLY discourage it's use
and a warning will be thrown if you try to use it.
This is closely linked to the way multiple roles being applies is handles and is not
likely to change. C<override> bevavior is closely linked to inheritance and thus will
=head1 How plugins are loaded
-You don't really need to understand anything except for the first paragraph.
-
-The first time you load a plugin a new anonymous L<Moose::Meta::Class> will be
-created. This class will inherit from your pluggable object and then your object
-will be reblessed to an instance of this anonymous class. This means that
+When roles are applied at runtime an anonymous class will wrap your class and
C<$self-E<gt>blessed> and C<ref $self> will no longer return the name of your object,
-they will instead return the name of the anonymous class created at runtime. Your
-original class name can be located at C<($self-E<gt>meta-E<gt>superclasses)[0]>
+they will instead return the name of the anonymous class created at runtime.
+See C<_original_class_name>.
-Once the anonymous subclass exists all plugin roles will be C<apply>ed to this class
-directly. This "subclass" though is in fact now C<$self> and it C<isa($yourclassname)>.
- If this is confusing.. it should be, thats why you let me handle it. Just know that it
-has to be done this way in order for plugins to override core functionality.

=head1 Attributes
HashRef. Keeps an inventory of what plugins are loaded and what the actual
module name is to avoid multiple loading.
-=head2 __plugin_subclass
-
-Object. This holds the subclass of our pluggable object in the form of an
-anonymous L<Moose::Meta::Class> instance. All roles are actually applied to
-this instance instead of the original class instance in order to not lose
-the original object name as roles are applied. The anonymous class will be
-automatically generated upon first use.

-This is the only method you should be using.

-extensions it provides if extensions are enabled.

+=head2 _original_class_name
-=head2 _plugin_subclass
-
-Creates, if needed and returns the anonymous instance of the consuming objects

+Because of the way roles apply C<$self-E<gt>blessed> and C<ref $self> will
+no longer return what you expect. Instead use this class to get your original
