=head1 NAME

ArrayBasedStorage - An example of an Array based instance storage

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;

  use metaclass (
    ':instance_metaclass'  => 'ArrayBasedStorage::Instance'
  );

  __PACKAGE__->meta->add_attribute('foo' => (
      reader => 'get_foo',
      writer => 'set_foo'
  ));

  sub new  {
      my $class = shift;
      $class->meta->new_object(@_);
  }

  # now you can just use the class as normal

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a proof of concept using the Instance sub-protocol
which uses ARRAY refs to store the instance data.

This is very similar now to the InsideOutClass example, and
in fact, they both share the exact same test suite, with
the only difference being the Instance metaclass they use.
