=head1 NAME

YATT::Lite::MFields -- fields for multiple inheritance.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  #
  # Like fields.pm
  #
  use YATT::Lite::MFields qw/foo bar baz/;

  #
  # Getter generation.
  #
  use YATT::Lite::MFields qw/^name cf_^age/;
  #
  # In above, ->name and ->value is defined.

  # Or more descriptive (but most attributes are only for documentation)
  use YATT::Lite::MFields
    ([name => (is => 'ro', doc => "Name of the user"
              , getter => "get_name")]
    , [age => (is => 'rw', doc => "Age of the user")]
    );

  # Or, more procedural way.
  use YATT::Lite::MFields sub {
    my ($meta) = @_;
    $meta->has(name => is => 'ro', doc => "Name of the user");
    $meta->has(age => is => 'rw', doc => "Age of the user");
  };

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module manipulates caller's C<%FIELDS> hash at compile time so that
caller can detect field-name error at compile time.
Traditionally this is done by L<fields> module. But it explicitly prohibits
multiple inheritance.

Yes, avoiding care-less use of multiple inheritance is important.
But if used correctly, multi-inheritance is good tool
to make your program being modular.
