So there's code that looks like $next = List::Util::first { eval { $self->$_ } } @tokens? Oof. Holey AUTOLOAD batman! Why not just make the token a parameter to some function instead of passing the value via the function name? Or is this so you can get overriding? When do we get to see this code and are you sure you couldn't have written this using a mundane method?

    Rules are methods of the object so that object inheritence works easily. Data is not inherited easily, methods are.
