MooX::BuildArgsHooks - Structured BUILDARGS.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Foo;
    use Moo;
    with 'MooX::BuildArgsHooks';

    has bar => (is=>'ro');

    around NORMALIZE_BUILDARGS => sub{
        my ($orig, $class, @args) = @_;
        @args = $class->$orig( @args );
        return( bar=>$args[0] ) if @args==1 and ref($args[0]) ne 'HASH';
        return @args;
    };

    around TRANSFORM_BUILDARGS => sub{
        my ($orig, $class, $args) = @_;
        $args = $class->$orig( $args );
        $args->{bar} = ($args->{bar}||0) + 10;
        return $args;
    };

    around FINALIZE_BUILDARGS => sub{
        my ($orig, $class, $args) = @_;
        $args = $class->$orig( $args );
        $args->{bar}++;
        return $args;
    };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module installs some hooks directly into L which allow
for more fine-grained access to the phases of C.  The
reason this is important is because if you have various roles and
classes modifying BUILDARGS you will often end up with weird
behaviors depending on what order the various BUILDARGS wrappers
are applied in.  By breaking up argument processing into three
steps (normalize, transform, and finalize) these conflicts are
much less likely to arise.

To further avoid these kinds of issues, and this applies to any
system where you would C methods from a consuming role or
super class not just BUILDARGS, it is recommended that you implement
your extensions via methods.  This way if something inherits from your
role or class they can treat your method as a hook.  For example:

    around TRANSFORM_BUILDARGS => sub{
        my ($class, $orig, $args) = @_;
        $args = $class->$orig( $args );
        return $class->TRANSFORM_FOO_BUILDARGS( $args );
    };

    sub TRANSFORM_FOO_BUILDARGS {
        my ($class, $args) = @_;
        $args->{bar} = ($args->{bar}||0) + 10;
        return $args;
    }

Then if some other code wishes to inject code before or after
the C class transforming BUILDARGS they can do so at very
specific points.
