Unexpected::TraitFor::StringifyingError - Base role for exception handling

=head1 Synopsis

   use Moo;

   with 'Unexpected::TraitFor::StringifyingError';

=head1 Description

Base role for exception handling

=head1 Configuration and Environment

Defines the following list of read only attributes;

=over 3

=item C<args>

An array ref of parameters substituted in for the placeholders in the
error message when the error is localised

=item C<error>

The actual error message which defaults to C<Unknown error>. Can contain
placeholders of the form C<< [_<n>] >> where C<< <n> >> is an integer
starting at one. If passed a code ref it will be called passing in the
calling classname and constructor hash ref, the return value will be
used as the error string

=head1 Subroutines/Methods

=head2 BUILD

After construction call the L</as_string> method to work around a bug in
L<Moo>

=head2 BUILDARGS

Customises the constructor. Accepts either a coderef, an object ref,
a hashref, a scalar, or a list of key / value pairs

=head2 as_boolean

   $bool = $self->as_boolean;

Returns true. Behaviour maybe changed by a subclass

=head2 as_string

   $error_text = $self->as_string;

This is what the object stringifies to
