=head1 NAME

UR::Singleton - Abstract class for implementing singleton objects

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  package MyApp::SomeClass;
  use UR;
  class MyApp::SomeClass {
      is => 'UR::Singleton',
      has => [
          foo => { is => 'Number' },
      ]
  };

  $obj = MyApp::SomeClass->get();
  $obj->foo(1);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class provides the infrastructure for singleton classes.  Singletons
are classes of which there can only be one instance, and that instance's ID
is the class name.

If a class inherits from UR::Singleton, it overrides the default
implementation of C<get()> and C<is_loaded()> in UR::Object with code that
fabricates an appropriate object the first time it's needed.

Singletons are most often used as one of the parent classes for data sources
within a Namespace.  This makes it convienent to refer to them using only
their name, as in a class definition.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item _singleton_object

  $obj = Class::Name->_singleton_object;

  $obj = $obj->_singleton_object;

Returns the object instance whether it is called as a class or object method.

=item _singleton_class_name

  $class_name = Class::Name->_singleton_class_name;

  $class_name = $obj->_singleton_class_name;

Returns the class name whether it is called as a class or object method.
