The interface is different, Module::Mask has a slightly more flexible OO
interface, but it does have some limitations that Devel::Hide doesn't.
Plus Module::Mask can whitelist modules, which I don't think Devel::Hide
supports.

I wasn't aware of Test::Without::Module, but a quick look at the docs
reveals that it doesn't support lexical scoping, whereas Module::Mask
does support masking in a lexical scope (although not via import and
unimport).
