=head1 NAME
Object::Deadly - An object that dies whenever examined
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Object::Deadly;
use Test::Exception 'lives_ok';
# Test that a few functions inspect their parameters safely
lives_ok { some_function( Object::Deadly->new ) } 'some_function';
lives_ok { Dumper( Object::Deadly->new ) } 'Data::Dumper';
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This object is meant to be used in testing. All possible overloading
and method calls die. You can pass this object into methods which are
not supposed to accidentally trigger any potentially overloading.
This problem arose when testing L<Data::Dump::Streamer> and
L<Carp>. The former was triggering overloaded object methods instead
of just dumping their data. L<Data::Dump::Streamer> is now safe for
overloaded objects but it wouldn't have been unless it hadn't have
been tested with a deadly, overloaded object.

=head1 METHODS
=over
=item C<< Object::Deadly->new() >>
=item C<< Object::Deadly->new( MESSAGE ) >>
The class method C<< Object::Deadly->new >> returns an C<< Object::Deadly >>
object. Dies with a stack trace and a message when evaluated in any
context. The default message contains a stack trace from where the
object is created.
=item C<< Object::Deadly->new_with( REFERENCE ) >>
The class method C<< Object::Deadly->new_with >> returns an C<< Object::Deadly >>
object. Dies with a stack trace and a message when evaluated in any
context. The default message contains a stack trace from where the
object is created.
=item C<< Object::Deadly->kill_function( FUNCTION NAME ) >>
=item C<< Object::Deadly->kill_function( FUNCTION NAME, DEATH CODE REF ) >>
The class method kill_function accepts a function name like C<< isa >>,
C<< can >>, or similar and creates a function in the
C<< Object::Deadly::_unsafe >> class of the same name.
An optional second argument is a code reference to die with. This
defaults to C<< Object::Deadly->can( '_death' ) >>.
=item C<< Object::Deadly->kill_UNIVERSAL >>
This class method kills all currently known UNIVERSAL functions so
they can't be called on a C<< Object::Deadly >> object. This includes
a list of methods known to the author and then an inspection of
UNIVERSAL::.
=item C<< Object::Deadly->get_death >>
Returns the function C<< Object::Deadly::_death >>.
=back
=head1 PRIVATE FUNCTIONS
The following functions are all private and not meant for public
consumption.
=over
=item C<< _death( $obj ) >>
This function temporarilly reblesses the object into
C<< Object::Deadly::_safe >>, extracts the message from inside of it,
and C<< confess >>'s with it.
