=head1 TODO

=over 4

=item * Provide some way to manipulate the argument list that gets passed to the
superclass constructor, to support setting attributes in the constructor for a
subclass of a class whose constructor does strict argument checking.

=item * Allow for constructors with names other than C<new>.

=back

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<MooseX::Alien> - serves the same purpose, but with a radically different (and
far more hackish and worse) implementation.

=head1 BUGS/CAVEATS

=over 4

=item * The reference that the non-Moose class uses as its instance type B<must>
match the instance type that Moose is using (currently, Moose only supports
hashref based instances).

=item * Arguments passed to the constructor will be passed as-is to the
superclass constructor - there is currently no BUILDARGS-like munging available
for this step (BUILDARGS is still available to munge the argument list that
Moose sees).

=item * Completely overriding the constructor in a class using
C<MooseX::NonMoose> (i.e. using C<sub new { ... }>) currently doesn't work,
although using method modifiers on the constructor should work identically to
normal Moose classes.

=item * C<MooseX::NonMoose> currently assumes in several places that the
superclass constructor will be called C<new>. This may be made configurable
in the future.
