=head1 NAME

InsideOutClass - A set of example metaclasses which implement the Inside-Out technique

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;
  
  use metaclass (
    ':attribute_metaclass' => 'InsideOutClass::Attribute',
    ':instance_metaclass'  => 'InsideOutClass::Instance'
  );
  
  __PACKAGE__->meta->add_attribute('foo' => (
      reader => 'get_foo',
      writer => 'set_foo'
  ));    
  
  sub new  {
      my $class = shift;
      $class->meta->new_object(@_);
  } 

  # now you can just use the class as normal

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a set of example metaclasses which implement the Inside-Out 
class technique. What follows is a brief explaination of the code 
found in this module.

We must create a subclass of B<Class::MOP::Instance> and override 
the slot operations. This requires 
overloading C<get_slot_value>, C<set_slot_value>, C<slot_initialized>, and
C<initialize_slot>, as well as their inline counterparts. Additionally we
overload C<add_slot> in order to initialize the global hash containing the
actual slot values.

And that is pretty much all. Of course I am ignoring need for 
inside-out objects to be C<DESTROY>-ed, and some other details as 
well (threading, etc), but this is an example. A real implementation is left as
an exercise to the reader.
