Not quite, that wasn't so much advice but criticism of the way I choose to
differentiate between list and scalar contexts, which has nothing in common
with Moose ideology. I on the contrary was seeking help with Moose, not perl
programming.
What I mean here that I agree that all use cases that Stevan enumerated break
the code, and even though that I might be able to implement module in such a
way that they work, I'm completely unsure that this way would be a good way to
do so. Also, if it takes a week of my time to figure that out, and (as I hope)
it is obvious for core developers, I naturally hope for a small patch. The
problem is also that I don't know all Moose's possibilities and guidelines, and
I can't tell whether a particular functionality can be implemented easily or
not.
