Re^9: Informal Poll: Traits (Long Post Warning!)

Class::LazyLoad doesn't need to do this. I wonder why you felt that Object::Realize::Later needed to do so.

[Corion]

From a look at the documentation, Class::LazyLoad doesn't seem to support classes that implement cheap operations but can become the full fledged object on demand. Which is what Object::Realize::Later does. There are ways around this that don't need reblessing into the full class I guess, like aggregation/creation of a new instance, but reblessing is the easy/safe way. This is discussed in the Traps section of the documentation.

This is true. C::LL supports non-existence or existence. Apparently, O::R::L supports the intermediate state. Neat!
