Sorry to be so dilatory in getting back to you on this - yes, the concept is essentially to allow you to arbitrarily subclass in a particular way. It grew out of the hand-implemented version of this in WWW::Mechanize::Pluggable, which was designed to get around the problem of proliferating subclasses of Mech, or in having a single big heterogenous subclass to add all the features I wanted.
