Hi all,

Some folks are happy with my Class::Trait module, but not entirely happy with 
the the fact that "private" trait methods currently must be declared as lexical 
methods:

  my $meth = sub { ... };

  sub foo { shift->$meth }

Praveen Ray has sent me a patch which lets authors do this:

  sub meth : private { ... }

  sub foo { shift->meth }

That's a much nicer syntax but I also realize that a number of folks aren't 
keen on attributes.  This attribute is read by "use attributes" 
(http://search.cpan.org/src/NWCLARK/perl-5.8.8/lib/attributes.pm), a nice, core 
module, but I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls here I should be aware of?

Cheers,
Ovid
