       This is a custom attribute metaclass which can be used to specify a the specific command line flag to use
       instead of the default one which MooseX::Getopt will create for you.

       This is certainly not the prettiest way to go about this, but for now it works for those who might need
       such a feature.

   Use'traits'insteadof'metaclass'
       You should rarely need to explicitly set the attribute metaclass. It is much preferred to simply provide
       a trait (a role applied to the attribute metaclass), which allows other code to further modify the
       attribute by applying additional roles.

       Therefore, you should first try to do this:

         has 'foo' => (traits => ['Getopt'], cmd_flag => 'f');

   CustomMetaclassalias
       This now takes advantage of the Moose 0.19 feature to support custom attribute metaclass aliases. This
       means you can also use this as the Getopt alias, like so:

         has 'foo' => (metaclass => 'Getopt', cmd_flag => 'f');

cmd_flag
       Changes the command-line flag to be this value, instead of the default, which is the same as the
       attribute name.

   cmd_aliases
       Adds more aliases for this command-line flag, useful for short options and such.
