=head1 SYNOPSIS

 package MyLister;

 use strict;

 1;

=head1 Provided by the Developer

=head2 subject_class_name (optional)

The subject_class_name is the class for which the objects will be fetched.  It can be specified one of two main ways:

=over

=item I<by_the_end_user_on_the_command_line>

For this do nothing, the end user will have to provide it when the command is run.

=item I<by_the_developer_in the_class_declartion>

For this, in the class declaration, add a has key w/ arrayref of hashrefs.  One of the hashrefs needs to be subject_class_name.  Give it this declaration:

 class MyFetchAndDo {
     is => 'UR::Object::Command::FetchAndDo',
     has => [
         subject_class_name => {
             value => <CLASS NAME>,
             is_constant => 1,
         },
     ],
 };

=back

=head2 show (optional)

 class MyFetchAndDo {
     is => 'UR::Object::Command::FetchAndDo',
     has => [
         show => {
             default_value => 'name,age', 
         },
     ],
 };
