=head1 NAME
MooseX::UndefTolerant::Attribute - Make your attribute(s) tolerant to undef intitialization
=head1 VERSION
version 0.12
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package My:Class;
use Moose;
use MooseX::UndefTolerant::Attribute;
has 'bar' => (
traits => [ qw(MooseX::UndefTolerant::Attribute)],
is => 'ro',
isa => 'Num',
predicate => 'has_bar'
);
# Meanwhile, under the city...
# Doesn't explode
my $class = My::Class->new(bar => undef);
$class->has_bar # False!
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Applying this trait to your attribute makes it's initialization tolerant of
of undef. If you specify the value of undef to any of the attributes they
will not be initialized (or will be set to the default, if applicable).
Effectively behaving as if you had not provided a value at all.
