=head1 NAME

MooseX::DeclareX::Plugin::abstract - shiny syntax for MooseX::ABCD

=head1 SYNOPSIS

	class Shape is abstract {
		requires 'draw';
	}
	
	class Circle extends Shape {
		method draw { ... }
	}
	
	class Square extends Shape {
		# does not implement 'draw'
	} # dies
	
	my $shape  = Shape->new;  # dies
	my $circle = Circle->new; # succeeds

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This distribution adds two new plugins to L<MooseX::DeclareX>.

=over

=item C<< is abstract >>

Declares that a class cannot be instantiated.

Also allows the standard Moose C<requires> function to work within
classes (it normally only works within roles).

When a class requires a method, then subclasses are supposed to provide that
method. If the subclass itself is also abstract, then it doesn't need to
provide the required methods. (There's also a little cheat: classes which
are mutable may extend abstract classes without implementing required methods.
You should not do this though.)

=item C<< is concrete >>

A counterpart to C<< is abstract >>. Currently, this is a no-op, but in
future it might enable some checks related to abstract classes.
