+Method::Signatures provides two new keywords, func and method, so that you
+can write subroutines with signatures instead of having to spell out my
+    $self = shift; my($thing) = @_
+
+* func is like sub but takes a signature where the prototype would normally
+  go. This takes the place of my($foo, $bar) = @_ and does a whole lot more.
+
+* method is like func but specifically for making methods. It will
+  automatically provide the invocant as $self. No more my $self = shift.
+
+Also allows signatures, very similar to Perl 6 signatures.
+
+Also does type checking, understanding all the types that Moose (or Mouse) would
+understand.
+
+And it does all this with no source filters.
