My original question was wondering if these had some syntactic sugar or more mature incarnations in another module already done (like Perl 6 "but" feature).
No, there isn't any sugar. I think there are two reasons for that, 1) doing custom infix operators are pretty much impossible, 2) people don't mind the Role->meta->apply syntax that much (and 3, applying roles to instances is not all that commonly used a feature).
But, I'm also supposing that I'm not breaking new ground in wanting an extension mechanism for a more complex case (not a single class, but functionality is broken up into smaller classes) and other people may have approached it already.
Well, there is also MooseX::Object::Pluggable, but I think perhaps people are still exploring the possible features/complex-insanity that Moose and runtime-roles open up, so you probably have a lot of funky stuff out in the DarkPAN that has yet to reach the CPAN. Honestly, the Moose community on IRC is pretty active, I really think you would benefit from getting involved there.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
