Not using the MOP, but with automatic upgrade to Moose when it's loaded, Moo would be a more lightweight, faster to load option, with very small modifcations to the isa arguments to has.

Is the "Moose tax" really that much of a problem? I'll do some tests over the weekend and decide what I want to do.

The problem is in scripts that need the speed, even using Number::Fraction once, increases the loading time.

Running prove -Q -l t/ with a patched Number/Fraction.pm (I also included MooX::Types::MooseLike for the Int type):

$ time prove -Q -l t/
All tests successful.
Files=14, Tests=161, 1 wallclock secs ( 0.11 usr 0.11 sys + 0.81 cusr 0.22 csys = 1.25 CPU)
Result: PASS
    0m1.27s real     0m1.00s user     0m0.34s system

and with the original:
$ time prove -Q -l t/
All tests successful.
Files=14, Tests=161, 5 wallclock secs ( 0.06 usr 0.24 sys + 3.69 cusr 0.45 csys = 4.44 CPU)
Result: PASS
    0m4.48s real     0m3.83s user     0m0.70s system

Patch to Fraction.pm attached.
