  __PACKAGE__->meta->set_overload(q{""} => sub { shift->stringify } ); is much better?

  Hentai often gets translated as pervert in anime, at least, though I know the root (hen) means strange. But us foreign anime geeks generally associate the word hentai with some sort of sexual deviancy ;)

    Yeah, if Hentai is being used to describe a man, that definitely means a pervert. But when we say "this code is Hentai", it could mean really tricky or voodoo code :)

    yeah, hentai means sexual things in japanese. but, sometime, japanese geeks calls 'this is hentai!' about tricky code :) this is jargon

      Ah, I see, interesting stuff.
      
      Obviously, my limited knowledge of Japanese has an extra weird bent because I've mostly learned things by watching anime, which isn't exactly a good example of normal Japanese life.
      
      I was kind of disappointed that on my trips to Tokyo there hasn't been one single giant robot battle on the streets. Not one!

      On second thought, this reminds me of “bukakke,” which AFAIK is innocuous in Japanese, but was adopted in Western languages for one particular and relatively unusual meaning… :-)

    Well, it doesn’t seem strange to me to say “this code is perverted.”

      That may be the case.
      But it does seem perverted to call code 'evil.' ;-)
      Substituting 'perverted' and 'evil' for 'strange'
      and 'perverted.'
      So perhaps 'hentai' just means 'strange'. :-)

  I think ->meta->add_overload() would make an excellent MooseX:: module. I did not add it to core Moose because I am not a big fan of overload, and after having added the support into Class::Trait I was not wanting to experience it again :)
