NAME
    MooseX::MultiInitArg - Attributes with aliases for constructor
    arguments.

SYNOPSIS
      package Thinger;
      use Moose;
            use MooseX::MultiInitArg;
  
      has 'data' => (
          metaclass => 'MultiInitArg',

          # For composability, you could use the following:
          # traits => ['MooseX::MultiInitArg::Trait'],

          is        => 'ro',
          isa       => 'Str',
          init_args => [qw(munge frobnicate)],
      );

      package main;

      # All these are equivalent
      my $foo = Thinger->new(data => 'foo');
      my $foo = Thinger->new(munge => 'foo');
      my $foo = Thinger->new(frobnicate => 'foo');

DESCRIPTION
    If you've ever wanted to be able to call an attribute any number of
    things while you're passing arguments to your object constructor, Now
    You Can.

    The primary motivator is that I have some attributes that were named
    inconsistently, and I wanted to rename them without breaking backwards
    compatibility with my existing API.
