+=head1 NAME
+
+MooseX::Singleton::Role::Meta::Class - Metaclass role for MooseX::Singleton
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This metaclass role makes sure that there is only ever one instance of an
+object for a singleton class. The first call to C<construct_instance> is run
+normally (and then cached). Subsequent calls will return the cached version.
