Would be nice to be able to optionally rename or prefix it. I don't think a object meta class should add methods to the main interface unless the object specifically needs to expose them.
So by default there could be a _moose_meta() method and an easy way to create a meta() -> _moose_meta() handler if required (per class). This could be a global option if want to retain compatibility with existing modules that require it. Thanks Ps.
