The idea behind this is to reserve a namespace for core options

names
without interfering with Moose.
+1, awesome
hdp.
This may severely affect porting bioperl to Moose (Biome: http://github.com/cjfields/biome/tree/master)
. BioPerl has been using the same convention, e.g. prefixing '-' for
named arguments passed during instantiation and to methods for years
now, and is something that's already adopted (a few months ago) into
Biome.
Example code from bioperl:
use Bio::AlignIO;
$inputfilename = "testaln.fasta";
$in = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file => $inputfilename ,
-format => 'clustalw');
$out = Bio::AlignIO->new(-file => ">out.aln.pfam" ,
-format => 'pfam');
while (my $aln = $in->next_aln) {
$aln->add_seq(-seq => $foo,
-pos => 1);
$out->write_aln($aln);
}
