sweetening moose

even if moose is nice and allows to prune a lot of code, it can still be seen as cryptic. take the following example, and imagine that you have a lot more attributes to declare:

	use Moose;
	has frobnizer => ( is=>'ro', isa=>'Str', required=>1 );
	has funger => ( is=>'rw', isa=>'Int', lazy_build=>1 );

the first thing that can be done is using moose builtin types instead of their name, with moosex::types::moose. this allows to remove the quotes around the types:

	use Moose;
	use MooseX::Types::Moose qw{ Int Str };
	has frobnizer => ( is=>'ro', isa=>Str, required=>1 );
	has funger => ( is=>'rw', isa=>Int, lazy_build=>1 );

but that's still a bit mouthful. enters moosex::has::sugar, for a nicer code:

	use Moose;
	use MooseX::Has::Sugar;
	use MooseX::Types::Moose qw{ Int Str };
	has frobnizer => ( ro, isa=>Str, required );
	has funger => ( rw, isa=>Int, lazy_build );

your code is now more readable - yet some other modules that i'll now use in my dists...
