yeah, that's the idea. no offense, but ObjectUtil needs to go.

Moose's accessors are not slow.
Moose's constructor, however, are (comparing to bless and the like) 
pretty slow. I don't think that'll change soon.

If we stay clear of any Class::MOP munging, we can leverage the faster 
Mouse.pm through Any::Moose, though.
