Surely that statement requires a precise definition of ‘source filter’? I'm no expert on Moose internals, but it's got a dependency on Filter::Simple.

    Filter::Simple is only used by oose, which is "syntactic sugar to make Moose one-liners easier". The Moose you'd use for modules and applications is not a source filter.

      Wow, that seems like an incredibly heavyweight dependency just to allow saving two lines. (I guess that it sounds better if you think of it as an almost-70% savings.) Thank you for pointing it out to me—I always just assumed that has and other syntax were implemented by filtering, rather than as simple functions.

        Filter::Simple has been a core module since Perl 5.7.3 (see Module::CoreList).
