Nick,

Oooh ... okay, that never would have occurred to me, so thanx much for
that brain bulb. :)

Okay, that's a little different from what I was thinking ... I was
thinking something more like:

   use MooseX::Declare::Using::MS;

   class Foo { ... }

although, honestly, I'm going to be burying whatever it is in my Moose
policy module for my primary application (a.k.a. $work).  So, for me,
it'll end up being

   use Company::Moose;

   class Company::Foo { ... }

But I would certainly like to come up with something that's nice
enough to put up on CPAN so that others can use it too ... what does
everyone feel about the two styles?  Do you like the MXD
extension-module idea, or a single-line replacement module (which is
obviously derived from MXD in some significant way)? or do you care?

Excellent! working code. :-)  I'll take a look.
