=head1 NAME 

    DBIx::Class::ResultSetManager - helpful methods for managing
    resultset classes (EXPERIMENTAL)

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  # in a table class
  __PACKAGE__->load_components(qw/ResultSetManager Core/); # note order!
  __PACKAGE__->load_resultset_components(qw/AlwaysRS/);
    
  # will be removed from the table class and inserted into a
  # table-specific resultset class
  sub search_by_year_desc : ResultSet {
    my $self = shift;
    my $cond = shift;
    my $attrs = shift || {};
    $attrs->{order_by} = 'year DESC';
    $self->next::method($cond, $attrs);
  }

  $rs = $schema->resultset('CD')->search_by_year_desc({ artist => 'Tool' });

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package implements two useful features for customizing resultset
classes.  C<load_resultset_components> loads components in addition to
C<DBIx::Class::ResultSet> (or whatever you set as
C<base_resultset_class>). Any methods tagged with the C<ResultSet>
attribute will be moved into a table-specific resultset class (by
default called C<Class::_resultset>, but configurable via
C<table_resultset_class_suffix>).  Most of the magic is done when you
call C<< __PACKAGE__->table >>.
