See Class::Tangram::Generator for a completely alien implementation of
the same concept.  In that implementation, I also place code hooks in
@INC and deal with the situations of the .pm file being present, absent
and failing to load.  Such loading is deferred until something either
tries to create a new object of that type, or "use" the package.

Also when using Class::Tangram::Generator, you would have to avoid
doing much other than specifying new methods in the loadable modules.
I think this is as it should be.
