Class::MOP::Object - Object Meta Object
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class is basically a stub, it provides almost no functionality at all,
and really just exists to make the Class::MOP metamodel complete.

A deeper discussion of this model is currently beyond the scope of
this documenation.
=head1 METHODS
=over 4
=item B<meta>
=item B<dump (?$max_depth)>
This will C<require> the L<Data::Dumper> module and then dump a
representation of your object. It passed the C<$max_depth> arg
to C<$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth>. The default C<$max_depth> is 1,
so it will not go crazy and print a massive bunch of stuff.
Adjust this as nessecary.
