  Description     : Safe::Isa - call isa, can, does and DOES safely on things 
that may not be objects

Since perl allows us to provide a subroutine reference or a method name
to the -> operator when used as a method call, and a subroutine doesn't
require the invocant to actually be an object, we can create safe versions
of isa, can and friends by using a subroutine reference that only tries to
call the method if it's used on an object.
