NAME
   Class::Data::Inheritable::Translucent - Inheritable, overridable,
   translucent class data / object attributes

SYNOPSIS
     package Foo;
     use base 'Class::Data::Inheritable::Translucent';

     Foo->mk_translucent("bar");
     Foo->bar("baz");

     $obj = Foo->new;

     print $obj->bar; # prints "baz"

     $obj->bar("whatever");

     print $obj->bar; # prints "whatever"
     print Foo->bar;  # prints "baz"

     $obj->bar(undef);

     print $obj->bar; # prints "baz"

DESCRIPTION
   This module is derived from Class::Data::Inheritable, and is largely the
   same, except the class data accessors double as translucent object
   attributes.

   Object data, by default, is stored in $obj->{$attribute}. See the
   ->attrs method, explained below, on how to change that.

METHODS
   mk_translucent
       Creates inheritable class data / translucent instance attributes

   attrs
       This method is called by the generated accessors and, by default,
       simply returns the object that called it, which should be a hash
       reference for storing object attributes. If your objects are not
       hashrefs, or you wish to store your object attributes in a different
       location, eg. $obj->{attrs}, you should override this method.
       Class::Data::Inheritable::Translucent stores object attributes in
       $obj->attrs->{$attribute}.
