Yes it should! Peter and I talked about this at YAPC; we should Create a Plan.

Please do! I would love to use this in Mojolicious for backwards compatibility. -- sebastian
I've actually been doing some experiments recently with signatures 0.09, and the results have been not great. https://github.com/kraih/mojo/compare/signatures Even if we only use a feature subset supported by both, the module and the core feature, there are still too many bugs to make it even somewhat workable. Biggest blocker was this one. https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=80450 The prototype attribute being called :proto instead of :prototype was also surprisingly annoying, but easy to work around with Scalar::Util::set_prototype. -- sebastian
