no not exactly, because that won't work in /this/ code that I linked
load $self->_dumper_package, 'Dumper';
you could argue that the problem is that I don't support passing
additional parameters, but I was trying to constrain it to the
specifics. _dumper_package attribute is constrained to /must be a
valid package name/. You can then change the Dumper package name
without modifying my source by passing it to the constructor (I
thought I was allowing via env variable but I guess not, maybe I
should change that). Because most of the Dumper modules support use
Module, Dumper; (or should imo). I couldn't generically write load
Module, alias => Dumper and expect it to work on Data::Dumper.
note: I'm seriously considering writing Dumper::Any due to API
inconsistency issues between Dumper modules.

yeah I missed that in the docs when I first wrote this, I'm kind of
liking how DBIx::QueryLog can set color via an environment variable
(again so I can put this outside of the source as this setting is more
for human users).
