DESCRIPTION

       This is a library of methods for Sub::HandlesVia.

DELEGATABLE METHODS

   "accessor( $key, $value? )"
       Arguments: Str, Optional[Any].

       Acts like "get" if given one argument, or "set" if given two arguments.

   "all()"
       Returns the hash in list context.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         my %hash = $object->my_all;

   "clear()"
       Empties the hash.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         $object->my_clear;
         say exists $object->attr->{foo}; ## ==> false
         say exists $object->attr->{bar}; ## ==> false

   "count()"
       Returns the number of keys in the hash.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         say $object->my_count; ## ==> 2

   "defined( $key )"
       Arguments: Str.

       Indicates whether a value exists and is defined in the hashref by its key.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         say $object->my_defined( 'foo' ); ## ==> 1

   "delete( $key )"
       Removes a value from the hashref by its key.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         $object->my_delete( 'foo' );
         say exists $object->attr->{foo}; ## ==> false

   "elements()"
       Returns the hash in list context.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         my %hash = $object->my_elements;

   "exists( $key )"
       Arguments: Str.

       Indicates whether a value exists in the hashref by its key.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         say $object->my_exists( 'foo' ); ## ==> true
         say $object->my_exists( 'baz' ); ## ==> false

   "for_each_key( $coderef )"
       Arguments: CodeRef.

       Chainable method which calls the coderef for each key in the hash, passing just the key to
       the coderef.

   "for_each_pair( $coderef )"
       Arguments: CodeRef.

       Chainable method which calls the coderef for each key in the hash, passing the key and
       value to the coderef.

   "for_each_value( $coderef )"
       Arguments: CodeRef.

       Chainable method which calls the coderef for each value in the hash, passing just the
       value to the coderef.

   "get( $key )"
       Returns a value from the hashref by its key.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         say $object->my_get( 'bar' ); ## ==> 1

   "is_empty()"
       Returns true iff there are no keys in the hash.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         say $object->my_is_empty; ## ==> false
         $object->_set_attr( {} );
         say $object->my_is_empty; ## ==> true

   "keys()"
       Returns the list of keys in the hash.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         # says 'foo' and 'bar' in an unpredictable order
         say for $object->my_keys;

   "kv()"
       Returns a list of arrayrefs, where each arrayref is a key-value pair.

   "reset()"
       Resets the attribute to its default value, or an empty hashref if it has no default.

   "set( $key, $value, ... )"
       Given a key and value, adds the key to the hashref with the given value.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         $object->my_set( bar => 2, baz => 1 );
         say $object->attr->{foo}; ## ==> 0
         say $object->attr->{baz}; ## ==> 1
         say $object->attr->{bar}; ## ==> 2

   "shallow_clone()"
       Creates a new hashref with the same keys and values as the original.

   "sorted_keys()"
       Returns an alphabetically sorted list of keys in the hash.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         # says 'bar' then 'foo'
         say for $object->my_sorted_keys;

   "values()"
       Returns the list of values in the hash.

         my $object = My::Class->new( attr => { foo => 0, bar => 1 } );
         # says '0' and '1' in an unpredictable order
         say for $object->my_values;
