I typically see classes with delegated methods use a

Or better*:

...as defaults tend to be a pain when trying to override or otherwise
alter them, but this syntax causes a builder method with the appropriate
name (e.g. lazy_build style, _build_$name()) to be generated and used.
(Allowing for subclasses to override, or roles, or method modifiers, etc,
etc).
e.g.
use MooseX::AttributeShortcuts;
has foo => (is => 'ro', lazy => 1, builder => sub { 'bar' });
is effectively the same as
has foo => (is => 'ro', lazy => 1, builder => '_build_foo');
sub _build_foo { 'bar' }
