+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    package TAP::Whatever;
+
+    use strict;
+    use vars qw(@ISA);
+
+    use TAP::Object;
+
+    @ISA = qw(TAP::Object);

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<TAP::Object> provides a default constructor and exception model for all
+C<TAP::*> classes.  Exceptions are raised using L<Carp>.
+
+=head1 METHODS
+
+=head2 Class Methods
+
+=head3 C<new>
+
+Create a new object.  Any arguments passed to C<new> will be passed on to the
+L</_initialize> method.  Returns a new object.
+
+=cut
+
+sub new {
+    my $class = shift;
+    my $self = bless {}, $class;
+    return $self->_initialize(@_);
+}
+
+=head2 Instance Methods
+
+=head3 C<_initialize>
+
+Initializes a new object.  This method is a stub by default, you should override
+it as appropriate.
+
+I<Note:> L</new> expects you to return C<$self> or raise an exception.  See
+L</_croak>, and L<Carp>.
+
+=cut
+
+sub _initialize {
+    return $_[0];
+}
+
+=head3 C<_croak>
+
+Raise an exception using C<croak> from L<Carp>, eg:
+
+    $self->_croak( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' );
+
+May also be called as a I<class> method.
+
+    $class->_croak( 'this works too' );

+=cut
+
+sub _croak {
+    my $proto = shift;
+    require Carp;
+    Carp::croak(@_);
+    return;
+}
+
+=head3 C<_confess>
+
+Raise an exception using C<confess> from L<Carp>, eg:
+
+    $self->_confess( 'why me?', 'aaarrgh!' );
+
+May also be called as a I<class> method.
+
+    $class->_confess( 'this works too' );

+sub _confess {
+    my $proto = shift;
+    require Carp;
+    Carp::confess(@_);
+    return;
+}
+
+=head3 C<_construct>
+
+Create a new instance of the specified class.
+

+=head3 C<mk_methods>
+
+Create simple getter/setters.
