Dave,
I agree the differences are minor. However, In my mind the differences are
valuable if possibly more style based.
I wrap two changes around Moose::Meta::Class->create in my proposal. I
accept named hash value pairs for everything including a new package name
where ->class() expects the new name as the first argument. Second I have
an instance creation method that leverages the class creation method. I
just noticed that it is not included on the PrePAN synopsis These two
changes allow me to do two things. First since all arguments are named
arguments they can either be omitted or provided with no code failure.
Meaning I can create an anonymous class with the same function as a named
class by just omitting the key/value pair for the name. Second, the class
function is set up to pass through instance arguments that are composed as
a hash without touching them. This makes it possible to bundle the
necessary arguments for an instance with the arguments for a completely new
class and create the instance without using the following syntax.
my $instance = Moose::Meta::Class->create(
'New::Class',
superclasses => ['Super::Class'],
roles => ['Does::Something'],
)->meta->name->new( %args );
I understand that both issues are style based and are not intended to
reflect on Moose or its excellent implementation, but I find the previous
syntax a bit clunky and it occurs a fair amount in code I am writing now.
As a consequence I am looking for an out of the way namespace to place a
class I can use to modify the instance implementation syntax to a 'method(
%args )' style.
Best Regards,
Jed
