=head1 NAME

Class::MakeMethods::Composite - Make extensible compound methods


=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package MyObject;
  use Class::MakeMethods::Composite::Hash (
    new => 'new',
    scalar => [ 'foo', 'bar' ],
    array => 'my_list',
    hash => 'my_index',
  );


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This document describes the various subclasses of Class::MakeMethods
included under the Composite::* namespace, and the method types each
one provides.

The Composite subclasses provide a parameterized set of method-generation
implementations.

Subroutines are generated as closures bound to a hash containing
the method name and additional parameters, including the arrays of subroutine references that will provide the method's functionality.


=head2 Calling Conventions

When you C<use> this package, the method names you provide
as arguments cause subroutines to be generated and installed in
your module.

See L<Class::MakeMethods::Standard/"Calling Conventions"> for more information.

=head2 Declaration Syntax

To declare methods, pass in pairs of a method-type name followed
by one or more method names. 

Valid method-type names for this package are listed in L<"METHOD
GENERATOR TYPES">.

See L<Class::MakeMethods::Standard/"Declaration Syntax"> and L<Class::MakeMethods::Standard/"Parameter Syntax"> for more information.

=head2 About Composite Methods

The methods generated by Class::MakeMethods::Composite are assembled
from groups of "fragment" subroutines, each of which provides some
aspect of the method's behavior.

You can add pre- and post- operations to any composite method.

  package MyObject;
  use Class::MakeMethods::Composite::Hash (
    new => 'new',
    scalar => [ 
      'foo' => { 
	'pre_rules' => [ 
	  sub {
	    # Don't automatically convert list to array-ref
	    croak "Too many arguments" if ( scalar @_ > 2 );
	  }
	],
	'post_rules' => [ 
	  sub {
	    # Don't let anyone see my credit card number!
	    ${(pop)->{result}} =~ s/\d{13,16}/****/g;
	  }
	],
      }
    ],
  );
