Description

       There are a number of modules on CPAN that allow users to write their classes with a more "modern"
       syntax. These tools eliminate the need to shift off $self, can support type checking and offer other
       improvements.  Unfortunately, they can break the support tools that the Perl community has come to rely
       on. This module attempts to work around those issues.

       The module uses Perl::Tidy's "prefilter" and "postfilter" hooks to support "method" and "func" keywords,
       including the (possibly multi-line) parameter lists. This is quite an ugly hack, but it is the
       recommended method of supporting these new keywords (see the 2010-12-17 entry in the Perl::Tidy CHANGES
       <https://metacpan.org/source/SHANCOCK/Perl-Tidy-20120714/CHANGES> file). Theresultingformattedcodewillleavetheparameterlistsuntouched.

       "Perl::Tidy::Sweetened" attempts to support the syntax outlined in the following modules, but most of the
       new syntax styles should work:

       •   p5-mop

       •   Method::Signatures::Simple

       •   MooseX::Method::Signatures

       •   MooseX::Declare

       •   Moops

       •   perl 5.20 signatures

       •   Kavorka
