=head1 NAME
Task::MetaSyntactic - All Acme::MetaSyntactic themes at once
=head1 SYNOPSIS
    cpan Task::MetaSyntactic
    cpanp -i Task::MetaSyntactic
    cpanm Task::MetaSyntactic
=head1 DESCRIPTION
L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> is a module designed to fill all your metasyntactic
needs. There was a weekly update with new themes on CPAN between January
15, 2005 and November 6, 2006.
Since version 0.99, the weekly uploads of the module have stopped,
while I took some rest. I have also been looking for a better way to
distribute the core modules and the themes themselves.
However, some users of L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> desperately needed new
themes to be added, and grew tired of waiting for me. So, in a JFDI way,
they started to upload their own themes on CPAN.
On May 7, 2012, after a hiatus of five and a half years,
L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> was back, in a shiny version 1.000.
The main C<Acme-MetaSyntactic> distribution contains the core modules
and a single theme, while all "historical" themes now live in the
C<Acme-MetaSyntactic-Themes> distribution.
The L<Test::MetaSyntactic> module included in the main distribution
aims at simplifying the test and distribution of new themes by
individual authors.
This L<Task> (formerly a Bundle) installs the core modules and all the
official and not-so-official L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> themes, in a single
command (see the L<SYNOPSIS>).

=head1 OTHER METASYNTACTIC MODULES
The following modules (ordered by first release date) are not part of
this L<Task>, but they also make use of L<Acme::MetaSyntactic>:
=over 4
=item L<Bot::MetaSyntactic> (SAPER)
First released on 2005-03-05.
Because the only logical thing to do with L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> was
obviously an IRC bot. This bot was part of the C<#perlfr> bot menagerie
for eight years, until it was replaced by the new kid on the block.
=item L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::RefactorCode> (JFENAL)
First released on 2005-03-15. Now deleted and only available on BackPAN.
Based on L<Acme::Floral>, this module refactors source code by replacing
variable names with L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> items.
=item L<Acme::BooK::Is::My::Bitch> (COG)
First released on 2006-09-02.
This module was written in a hotel room in Birmingham, after the YAPC
Europe 2006 auction. See also L<http://book.ismybit.ch/>.
Now ironically maintained by BooK.
=item L<Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::MetaSyntactic> (BOOK)
First released on 2013-04-13.
Because there's more than one way to do it, and it's easier to write new
code than patch old code, this bot does what L<Bot::MetaSyntactic> did,
with better support for themes with sub-categories, and the ability to
grep for items.
The bot hangs out on C<#perlfr> and C<#p5p> on L<irc://irc.perl.org/>.
=item L<Acme::PPIx::MetaSyntactic> (TOBYINK)
First released on 2013-05-15.
As we've seen, there's more than one way to be metasyntactic.
This module renames functions and variables in a L<PPI::Document> using
L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> themes.
This is the application that L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> was created for.
It only took eight years.
=item L<Data::Faker::MetaSyntactic> (BOOK)
First released on 2014-04-16.
L<Data::Faker> is all about metasyntactic data, so this module registers
a data provider for each installed L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> theme.
=item L<Acme::CPANAuthors::MetaSyntactic> (BOOK)
First released on 2014-05-24.
The L<Acme::CPANAuthors> series of modules aims at grouping CPAN authors
by various criteria. It seems there are enough authors who have produced
L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> themes to group them in their own category.
=item L<Data::Fake::MetaSyntactic> (BOOK)
First released on 2015-02-28.
L<Data::Fake> generates randomized data using declarative syntax.
This module exports factory functions that collect data from the installed
L<Acme::MetaSyntactic> theme.
=item L<WordList::MetaSyntactic> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2016-06-06.
This module is a base class for C<WordList::MetaSyntactic::*> modules,
wordlist modules that get their wordlist from corresponding
C<Acme::MetaSyntactic::*> modules.
=item L<WordList::MetaSyntactic::dangdut> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2016-06-06.
This is the first (and for now only) wordlist module based
on L<WordList::MetaSyntactic>. It takes its word list from
L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::dangdut>.
=item L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::WordList> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2016-06-08.
Just like L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::cpanauthors> and
L<Acme::CPANAuthors::MetaSyntactic> are two sides of the
same coin, L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::WordList> is the dual of
L<WordList::MetaSyntactic>: a base class for C<Acme::MetaSyntactic::*>
modules that get their meta names from a corresponding C<WordList::*>
module. See L<Acme::MetaSyntactic::countries> for an example.
=item L<App::ShellCompleter::meta> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2016-11-04.
Shell completer for L<meta>, using L<Shell::Completer>.
=item L<Dist::Zilla::Plugin::Acme::MetaSyntactic> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2017-02-04.
A L<Dist::Zilla> plugin that automates some of the steps of building an
Acme-MetaSyntactic-* theme distribution.
=item L<App::metastasize> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2017-02-11.
This is an application based on L<Acme::PPIx::MetaSyntactic>.
=item L<Complete::Acme::MetaSyntactic> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2017-02-15.
Completion routines for L<Acme::MetaSyntactic>.
=item L<App::metasyn> (PERLANCAR)
First released on 2017-02-17.
An alternative to the L<meta> front-end to L<Acme::MetaSyntactic>.
=item L<WordListBase::MetaSyntactic> (PERLANCAR)
First release on 2020-05-01.
Base class for C<WordList::MetaSyntactic::*>.
