And just to clarify, DBIC just comes from DBI(x::)C(lass)

So, DBIC or DBIx::Class.  DBIx simply means "Extension to DBI" -- there are
a number of DBIx:: modules that have nothing to do with DBIx::Class (but
everything under DBIx::Class should have something to do with DBIC)

Same with MooseX::Whatever -- it's a Moose eXtension (and not Moo Sex)
