It's confusing when someone does something like this:
package Base;
use Moose;
use Subclass;
has (...);
package Subclass;
use Moose;
extends 'Base';
__PACKAGE__->meta->make_immutable;
The subclass doesn't see any changes made to Base after 'use Subclass' (because
it's immutable). This is fine, but we should try to tell those people they're
doing it wrong.
