Or perhaps "ensure_all_roles_are_applied"?

I always find myself writing "apply role unless does role".
Would anyone object to this functionality being in Moose::Util? e.g.
apply_all_missing_roles(
$obj, "My::First::Role", "Another::Role::With::A::Long::Name"
);
(replace 'missing' with some more appropriate term if one exists)
If something like that were to be added, I might call it
ensure_roles_applied().
