=head1 NAME 

Class::MOP::Object - Base class for metaclasses

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is a very minimal base class for metaclasses.

=head1 METHODS

This class provides a few methods which are useful in all metaclasses.

=over 4

=item B<< Class::MOP::???->meta >>

This returns a L<Class::MOP::Class> object.

=item B<< $metaobject->dump($max_depth) >>

This method uses L<Data::Dumper> to dump the object. You can pass an
optional maximum depth, which will set C<$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth>. The
default maximum depth is 1.
