Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Modules using Moose have a not insignificant startup cost when using Moose.

Describe the solution you'd like

Switch to using Moo::Role + Type::Tiny; Moo is a lightweight alternative to Moose, and Type::Tiny supports type support otherwise missing from Moo.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Alternatively Role::Tiny could be used instead of Moo{,se}::Role bit would require either hand written accessors, or some other accessor generating module

Research direction

Start by locating the Perl generator modules that currently depend on Moose, along with their tests and dependency declarations. Trace the role, accessor, and type-handling behavior before assessing the migration; done means the generator uses Moo::Role and Type::Tiny without losing existing behavior, with the relevant tests passing.
