I<C<Acme::MetaSyntactic> makes me more productive when I have to write
regression tests for my Perl modules. No more do I spend time looking
for variable names! It simply changed my life.>

-- Rafael Garcia-Suarez, pumpking,
used AMS when writing tests for C<Sub::Identify>.

=item *

I<C<Acme::MetaSyntactic> gave names for regression tests in the Perl core>

See L<https://github.com/Perl/perl5/commit/adc51b978ed1b2e9d4512c9bfa80386ac917d05a>.

I<Your module has been a wonderful timesaver for me. How much time I used to
spend on thinking about good and meaningful variable names, and now I have
them at the snap of a finger!>

-- Gisbert W. Selke

[...] I<with the help of Acme::MetaSyntatic I've been able to do some
rudimentary code generation techniques that save me a lot of time without
much outlay.>

I<When writing example applications, I almost always use variable
names such as foo and bar. This gets boring, and it easily confuse the
reader. Especially when I need to use more variables.>

=head1 EXAMPLES OF USE

Ever needed to debug with the help of a few C<print()> statements?
Simply map some keystrokes to insert a warning where you want it.
With B<meta>, you will never need to think about what write in the
string argument:

    nmap _wa :r!meta donmartin<CR>iwarn"<Esc>A";<Esc>==

(This mapping kindly given by Rafael Garcia-Suarez.)
