Re: Using attributes for 'requires'

Following this suggestion, I tried it myself (Moose 0.64, Class::MOP 0.75) to 
solve a related problem, where the auto-generated methods meant to satisfy a 
role's requirements are delegates to an attribute of the composing class:

     has '_inner' => (
         is      => 'rw',
         isa     => 'MyInnerClass',
         handles => [qw(
             foo_func bar_func
         )],
     );

However, adding ...

     sub foo_func;
     sub bar_func;

... above the has _inner didn't work; I got this compile time error:

     Error:  You cannot overwrite a locally defined method (foo_func) with a 
delegation

So, any similar hacks to help with that, prior to Moose roles being smart enough 
to deal with this?
