Name
    Mo - Micro Objects. Mo is less.

Synopsis
        package Less;
        use Mo;
        extends 'Nothing';

        has something => ();

Description
    use Mo. Mo is less. Much less.

    Moose is huge. Moose led to Mouse led to Moo led to Mo. M is nothing. Mo
    is more. Not much.

    When Moo is more than you need, drop an 'o' and get some Mo.

    To get just a little Mo from Mo, use "Mo Features" below.

Core Features
    This is what you get. Nothing Mo.

    "new" method
        Mo provides a "new" object constructor. You pass it a list of
        name/value pairs and it returns a new object.

        Constructor will not call BUILD metthods. This is available using
        the Mo::build feature.

    "extends"
        Mo exports the "extends" keyword, to declare your parent class.
        "Mo::Object" itself is your default parent class.

        Mo only supports single inheritance. If you need multiple
        inheritance or roles, you should upgrade to Moo.

    "has"
        Mo exports a "has" keyword, to generate accessors.

        These accessors always support both "get" and "set" operations.
        That's it.

            has name => ();
            has thing => (is => 'ro');  # arguments silently ignored

        All arguments passed to "has" are ignored. This makes it easier to
        switch between Mo and Moo, without having to change all your
        accessors.

    "strict" and "warnings"
        Mo turns on "use strict" and "use warnings" for you.

    Embeddable
        Mo is tiny. It is compressed into a single line. You can easily
        inline it in your code, should you want to do that. See Mo::Inlining
        for more information, including a utility that will do it for you.

Mo Features
    Mo is the bare minimum needed for Perl OO. Many times you'll want just a
    couple more features. Don't worry. Mo's got you covered:

        use Mo qw'build default builder';
        has name1 => ( default => sub { 'Joe' } );
        has name2 => ( builder => 'name_builder' );
        sub BUILD {
            my $self = shift;
            ...
        }

    Mo simply loads the feature classes Mo::build, Mo::default and
    Mo::builder. The first one supports BUILD constructing and the other two
    add their magics to "has". A Mo::Feature module can enhance "new",
    "extends" and "has", and also add new export subs, or remove existing
    ones. See Mo::Features for a list of all the features and for an
    explanation of the Feature API..
