Bio::Moose isn't a good namespace for the long term.  For experimenting 
around with Moosey implementation techniques it's fine, but before you 
guys go putting TOO much code into it, consider what its future is going 
to be.  Moose is an implementation technology, and modules should be 
named for what they do, not how they're implemented.

We already know Moose is far superior for organizing and expressing 
designs, so what I would be shooting for here would be some deep, 
focused implementations of certain aspects.  It's starting to sound like 
it's getting a little bigger than just playing around.
