MooseX::Declare without MooseX::Method::Signatures

Guys,

I'm trying to figure out if I can turn off just the MXMS part of MXD
(i.e. lose the "method" keyword) ... what I'm trying to do is to use
Method::Signatures instead, possibly augmenting/extending it to use
MooseX::Params::Validate for the type checking.  (If anyone really
wants to know why, I can get into the details, but I figured I
wouldn't clutter up the initial post. :) )  Is this possible?  I've
been staring at the code for MXD, MXPV, PV, and MS for a couple of
days now, but I can't see how to do it.

In reviewing the mailing list archives to see if my question had
already been answered somewhere, I discovered a post(*) from Stevan
(to me, even!) which mentioned a talk Piers Cawley had given, possibly
on this very topic; does anyone know if that's online somewhere?  I
searched for it, but couldn't find it.  It might be exactly what I'm
looking for.  (Can't believe I didn't remember that post in the first
place ...)

Thanx all.
