=head1 NAME

Exception::Class::Nested - Nested declaration of Exception::Class classes

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	use Exception::Class::Nested (
		'MyException' => {
			description => 'This is mine!',

			'YetAnotherException' => {
				description => 'These exceptions are related to IPC',

				'ExceptionWithFields' => {
					fields => [ 'grandiosity', 'quixotic' ],
					alias => 'throw_fields',
					full_message => sub {
						my $self = shift;
						my $msg = $self->message;
						$msg .= " and grandiosity was " . $self->grandiosity;
						return $msg;
					}
				}
			}
		},
	);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is little more than a thin wrapper around the C<use Exception::Class> call. It allows you to nest the class
declarations instead of having to repeat the class names in the isa=> parameters. It also allows you to
define/overload methods in the classes.
