Blech.  OK never mind about the method rename then.  <deletes it>

Yeah....I've kind of been vacillating back and forth about whether it 
would be best to *start* with this, or to end with this.  Probably makes 
more sense to start with it, since it gives more freedom to add 
dependencies on more CPAN stuff without worrying too much. 
Like...oh...I don't know...Moose?  Thoughts on this?  <moves it to
