=head1 SYNOPSIS
-package Foo::Bar;
+ package Foo;
-@ISA = qw(Class::Modular);

=head1 DESCRIPTION
without modifying the base classes. This allows for code to be more
modular, and reduces code duplication.
-=over
-
-=item new
-
-new is responsible for blessing and creating a new database superclass.
-
-=item load
-
-load is responsible for loading database plugins
