         # Equivalent to use base 'Class::Inheritable';
         use base 'Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::Inheritable';
         MyClass->mk_classdata( ... );

         # Equivalent to use base 'Class::AccessorFast';
         use base 'Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::AccessorFast';
         MyClass->mk_accessors(qw(this that whatever));

         # Equivalent to use accessors( ... );
         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::accessors( ... );

         # Equivalent to use mcoder( ... );
         use Class::MakeMethods::Emulator::mcoder( ... );

DESCRIPTION

       In several cases, Class::MakeMethods provides functionality closely equivalent to that of an existing
       module, and it is simple to map the existing module's interface to that of Class::MakeMethods.

       Class::MakeMethods::Emulator provides emulators for Class::MethodMaker, Class::Accessor::Fast,
       Class::Data::Inheritable, Class::Singleton, Class::Struct, accessors, and mcoder, each of which passes
       the original module's test suite, usually requiring only the addition of a a single line to each test,
       activating the emulation module.

       Beyond demonstrating compatibility, these emulators also generally indicate the changes needed to switch
       to direct use of Class::MakeMethods functionality, illustrate commonalities between the various modules,
       and serve as a source for new ideas that can be integrated into Class::MakeMethods.
