My two cents: Realistically, Devel::Comments is probably the right hierarchy, but I like Smarter::Comments better because, well, you did set it to do it right didn't you? :-) And anyone who can't remember the name can just look up on -- Whoa! -- wait a minute -- Holy AxKit::App::TABOO::Data::Plurals::Comments, Batman! There's a lot of modules with "comments" in them!

I just searched CPAN for "comments" to see what I'd get. Of 3895 results (!!!), Smart::Comments is the third, while File::Comments is 1st and File::Comments::Plugin::* is 4th and 7th to 14th! And what order are the results returned in anyway???

Anyhoo...either of the above makes more sense to me than adding another level to Smart::Comments because it sounds like you're inheriting from the parent.
