RE: Possible to disable/rename meta() method

Would be nice to be able to optionally rename or prefix it.

I don't think a object meta class should add methods to the main interface unless the object specifically needs to expose them.

So by default there could be a _moose_meta() method and an easy way to create a meta() -> _moose_meta() handler if required (per class). This could be a global option if want to retain compatibility with existing modules that require it.

Thanks

Ps. How do I subscribe to the mail list?
