=head1 NAME
Class::Meta::Constructor - Class::Meta class constructor introspection
=head1 SYNOPSIS
  # Assuming MyApp::Thingy was generated by Class::Meta.
  my $class = MyApp::Thingy->my_class;
  print "\nConstructors:\n";
  for my $ctor ($class->constructors) {
      print "  o ", $ctor->name, $/;
      my $thingy = $ctor->call($class->package);
  }
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This class provides an interface to the C<Class::Meta> objects that describe
class constructors. It supports a simple description of the constructor, a
label, and the constructor visibility (private, protected, trusted,or public).
Class::Meta::Constructor objects are created by Class::Meta; they are never
instantiated directly in client code. To access the constructor objects for a
Class::Meta-generated class, simply call its C<my_class()> method to retrieve
its Class::Meta::Class object, and then call the C<constructors()> method on
the Class::Meta::Class object.

=head2 Instance Methods
=head3 name
  my $name = $ctor->name;
Returns the constructor name.
=head3 package
  my $package = $ctor->package;
Returns the package name of the class that constructor is associated with.
=head3 desc
  my $desc = $ctor->desc;
Returns the description of the constructor.
=head3 label
  my $desc = $ctor->label;
Returns label for the constructor.
=head3 view
  my $view = $ctor->view;
Returns the view of the constructor, reflecting its visibility. The possible
values are defined by the following constants:
=over 4
=item Class::Meta::PUBLIC
=item Class::Meta::PRIVATE
=item Class::Meta::TRUSTED
=item Class::Meta::PROTECTED
=back
=head3 class
  my $class = $ctor->class;
Returns the Class::Meta::Class object that this constructor is associated
with. Note that this object will always represent the class in which the
constructor is defined, and I<not> any of its subclasses.

=head3 call
  my $obj = $ctor->call($package, @params);
Executes the constructor. Pass in the name of the class for which it is being
executed (since, thanks to subclassing, it may be different than the class
with which the constructor is associated). All other parameters will be passed
to the constructor. Note that it uses a C<goto> to execute the constructor, so
the call to C<call()> itself will not appear in a call stack trace.

=head3 build
  $ctor->build($class);
This is a protected method, designed to be called only by the Class::Meta
class or a subclass of Class::Meta. It takes a single argument, the
Class::Meta::Class object for the class in which the constructor was defined,
and generates constructor method for the Class::Meta::Constructor, either by
installing the code reference passed in the C<code> parameter or by creating
the constructor from scratch.
Although you should never call this method directly, subclasses of
Class::Meta::Constructor may need to override its behavior.
