MouseX::NativeTraits - Extend your attribute interfaces for Mouse

       Goro Fuji (gfx) <gfuji(at)cpan.org>

       This module is based on Moose native traits written by Stevan Little and others.

       All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no exception. If you find a bug please
       either email me, or add the bug to cpan-RT.

       Perl 5.6.2 or later.

       While Mouse attributes provide a way to name your accessors, readers, writers, clearers and predicates,
       MouseX::NativeTraits provides commonly used attribute helper methods for more specific types of data.

       As seen in the "SYNOPSIS", you specify the data structure via the "traits" parameter. These traits will
       be loaded automatically, so you need not load MouseX::NativeTraits explicitly.

       This extension is compatible with Moose native traits, although it is not a part of Mouse core.

handles
       This is like "handles" in "has" in Mouse, but only HASH references are allowed.  Keys are method names
       that you want installed locally, and values are methods from the method providers (below).  Currying with
       delegated methods works normally for "handles".
