Description : sweeps up imported subs in your classes
Because Perl methods are just regular subroutines, it's difficult to
tell what's a method and what's just an imported function. As a result,
imported functions can be called as methods on your objects.
.
The namespace::sweep pragma will delete imported functions from your
class's symbol table, thereby ensuring that your interface is as you
specified it. However, code inside your module will still be able to
use the imported functions without any problems.
