=head1 NAME

Test2::Util::ExternalMeta - Allow third party tools to safely attach meta-data
to your instances.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package lets you define a clear, and consistent way to allow third party
tools to attach meta-data to your instances. If your object consumes this
package, and imports its methods, then third party meta-data has a safe place
to live.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

package My::Object;
    use strict;
    use warnings;

use Test2::Util::ExternalMeta qw/meta get_meta set_meta delete_meta/;

...

Now to use it:

my $inst = My::Object->new;

$inst->set_meta(foo => 'bar');
    my $val = $inst->get_meta('foo');

=head1 WHERE IS THE DATA STORED?

This package assumes your instances are blessed hashrefs, it will not work if
that is not true. It will store all meta-data in the C<_meta> key on your
objects hash. If your object makes use of the C<_meta> key in its underlying
hash, then there is a conflict and you cannot use this package.

=head1 EXPORTS

=over 4

=item $val = $obj->meta($key)

=item $val = $obj->meta($key, $default)

This will get the value for a specified meta C<$key>. Normally this will return
C<undef> when there is no value for the C<$key>, however you can specify a
C<$default> value to set when no value is already set.

=item $val = $obj->get_meta($key)

This will get the value for a specified meta C<$key>. This does not have the
C<$default> overhead that C<meta()> does.

=item $val = $obj->delete_meta($key)

This will remove the value of a specified meta C<$key>. The old C<$val> will be
returned.

=item $obj->set_meta($key, $val)

Set the value of a specified meta C<$key>.

=back

=head1 META-KEY RESTRICTIONS

Meta keys must be defined, and must be true when used as a boolean. Keys may
not be references. You are free to stringify a reference C<"$ref"> for use as a
key, but this package will not stringify it for you.
