Description

       The "Alien::Role" namespace is intended for writing roles that can be applied to Alien::Base to extend
       its functionality.  You could of course write subclasses that extend Alien::Base, but then you have to
       either stick with just one subclass or deal with multiple inheritance!  It is recommended that you use
       Role::Tiny since it can be used on plain old Perl classes which is good since Alien::Base doesn't use
       anything fancy like Moose or Moo.  There is one working example that use this technique that are worth
       checking out in the event you are interested: Alien::Role::Dino.

       This class itself doesn't do anything, it just documents the technique.
