How about a metaclass? That way I could add DBIC metadata to my attributes.

Like this:

has 'name' =3D> (
    metaclass =3D> 'DBIC',
    is        =3D> 'rw',
    isa       =3D> 'Str',
    dbic =3D> { data_type =3D> 'varchar', size =3D> 50, ... }
);

The Moose class would probably need to inherit from DBIx::Class somehow, so
I can set the table name. But I guess this is just the opposite (use DBIC in
Moose) from what you're suggesting (use Moose in DBIC).
