A quick glance over prompts my first question: what does this module provide
that other Class generating modules, e.g., Class::MethodMaker,
Class::MakeMethods, Class::Struct, do not?
	Hello, Martyn and other.

Class::Struct - it's implementation of C like structs. Looking in source 
said that it does not like ISA at all so It's not OO style at all.
This module has no similarity in reasons and goals of mine.

I didn't find any similarity with Class::MakeMethods.
I'm going in another direction.
This module(distro) do much on get/set methods, but not iteration.
I want next features:
1) Ordered container of any elements in its cells.
2) Support for many such containers in one object.
For example:
        One Object have next lists:
                Attribute
                Child
                Sibling
3) It's something like 'bidirect lists' in C which have next and prev 
refs, but I want abstract this class from data in cells.
Very good schem:
my $attr = $Obj->Attrs->First;
while ($attr->Next) {
...
}
but force me to change Attr object, so I've decided to use next style:
$Obj->InitList(Name => 'Attr');
$Obj->PushAttr($attr); #or
$Obj->Push(List => 'Attr', Element => $attr);

while (my $attr = $Obj->NextAttr) {
...
}
4) Main goal is walking through list(Next, Prev, First, Last)

5) I don't want to give public interface to internal array what other 
modules do.

6) I consider using of this module in OO enviorment so support for join 
method is something not normal.

I hope I've spot more light with this letter.
