I should probably say one more thing, which is that were I to do the
above thing, I would then have:

 Music::Person::Attribute->has_variant(
   attr_value =3D> 'Attribute::Transformer,
   inflate =3D> 'inflate',
   deflate =3D> 'deflate'
 );

And A::T would intelligently inflate or deflate based on the object's
"attribute" attribute.
