IM::Engine::PluggableConstructor - provide new_with_plugins
Some plugins need to extend built-in classes. For example,
IM::Engine::Plugin::State needs to extend IM::Engine::User with methods
such as get_state and set_state. This role provides a new constructor
new_with_plugins to classes that need to be extensible. Plugins can then
specify roles to use for the instance, as well as additional constructor
parameters.
A string representing the role that can extend the consuming class. The role
specifier uses the same rules as MooseX::Traits: prefix a + character to
specify an absolute role name, otherwise the class's _trait_namespace is
prepended.
An alternate constructor that includes additional parameters specified by
plugins. This also extends the traits option to include additional traits
specified by plugins.
You must pass the engine argument so we can ask plugins about what to
include.
