+Class::Gomor - another class and object builder
+
+This module is yet another class builder. This one adds parameter checking in
+new constructor, that is to check for attributes existence, and definedness.
+In order to validate parameters, the module needs to find attributes, and that
+is the reason for declaring attributes in global variables named @AS, @AA,
+@AO. They respectively state for Attributes Scalar, Attributes Array and
+Attributes Other. The last one is used to avoid autocreation of accessors,
+that is to let you declare your own ones.
+Attribute validation is performed by looking at classes hierarchy, by
+following @ISA tree inheritance.
+The loss in speed by validating all attributes is quite negligeable on a
+decent machine (Pentium IV, 2.4 GHz) with Perl 5.8.x. But if you want to avoid
+checking, you can do it.
