=head1 DESCRIPTION

Your parameterized role consists of two new things: parameter declarations
and a C<role> block.

Parameters are declared using the L</parameter> keyword which very much
resembles L<Moose/has>. You can use any option that L<Moose/has> accepts. The
default value for the C<is> option is C<ro> as that's a very common case. Use
C<< is => 'bare' >> if you want no accessor. These parameters will get their
values when the consuming class (or role) uses L<Moose/with>. A parameter
object will be constructed with these values, and passed to the C<role> block.

The C<role> block then uses the usual L<Moose::Role> keywords to build up a
role. You can shift off the parameter object to inspect what the consuming
class provided as parameters. You use the parameters to customize your
role however you wish.

There are many possible implementations for parameterized roles (hopefully with
a consistent enough API); I believe this to be the easiest and most flexible
design. Coincidentally, Pugs originally had an eerily similar design.

See L<MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Extending> for some tips on how to extend
this module.

=head2 Why a parameters object?

I've been asked several times "Why use a parameter I<object> and not just a
parameter I<hashref>? That would eliminate the need to explicitly declare your
parameters."

The benefits of using an object are similar to the benefits of using Moose. You
get an easy way to specify lazy defaults, type constraint, delegation, and so
on. You get to use MooseX modules.

B<Stop!> If you're new here, please read
L<MooseX::Role::Parameterized::Tutorial> for a much gentler introduction.

=for stopwords metaobject

You also get the usual introspective and intercessory abilities that come
standard with the metaobject protocol. Ambitious users should be able to add
traits to the parameters metaclass to further customize behavior. Please let
me know if you're doing anything viciously complicated with this extension. :)

=head1 CAVEATS

You must use this syntax to declare methods in the role block:
C<< method NAME => sub { ... }; >>. This is due to a limitation in Perl. In
return though you can use parameters I<in your methods>!
