=head1 NAME

MooseX::Singleton - turn your Moose class into a singleton

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package MyApp;
    use MooseX::Singleton;

    has env => (
        is      => 'rw',
        isa     => 'HashRef[Str]',
        default => sub { \%ENV },
    );

    package main;

    delete MyApp->env->{PATH};
    my $instance = MyApp->instance;
    my $same = MyApp->instance;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A singleton is a class that has only one instance in an application.
C<MooseX::Singleton> lets you easily upgrade (or downgrade, as it were) your
L<Moose> class to a singleton.

All you should need to do to transform your class is to change C<use Moose> to
C<use MooseX::Singleton>. This module uses a new class metaclass and instance
metaclass, so if you're doing metamagic you may not be able to use this.

C<MooseX::Singleton> gives your class an C<instance> method that can be used to
get a handle on the singleton. It's actually just an alias for C<new>.

Alternatively, C<< YourPackage->method >> should just work. This includes
accessors.

If you need to reset your class's singleton object for some reason (e.g.
tests), you can call C<< YourPackage->_clear_instance >>.

=head1 TODO

=over

=item Always more tests and doc

=item Fix speed boost

C<instance> invokes C<new> every time C<< Package->method >> is called, which
incurs a nontrivial runtime cost. I've implemented a short-circuit for this
case, which does eliminate nearly all of the runtime cost. However, it's ugly
and should be fixed in a more elegant way.
