I was talking to somebody today on IRC, who was trying to use autobox and was being confused why none of the code in the synopsis as-is.
I think the synopsis and documentation needs to be more explict in that autobox.pm creates none of the methods, and autobox.pm is explicitly a toolkit for other autoboxing things to use, and that the synopsis is only an example of what could be done once all the relevant subs are installed in SCALAR::length() etc, and that unless somebody is explicitly authoring a autoboxing module, that they should probably be consuming an existing autoboxer, like autobox::Core or MooseX::Autobox

I totally agree. But I'm not gonna change the documentation because I can't think of a better way to summarize what autobox enables. If you (or anyone else) can, please submit a PR.
