+
+Currently when you subclass a module, this is done at runtime with
+the C<extends> keyword but attributes are checked at compile time
+by Perl. To make attributes work, you must place C<extends> in a
+C<BEGIN> block so that the attribute handlers will be available at
+compile time like this:
+
+  BEGIN { extends qw/Foo/ }
