[Melbourne-pm] Moose 'isa' property prevents setting attribute to undef

Hi,
We've got a Moose class with this attribute:
has 'dataset' => (
is => 'rw',
isa => 'AG::Dataset',
required => 0,
);
It's not required so you can happily create objects without supplying a
value for it, but once you've done so, you can't then remove/clear it via
"$object->dataset(undef)" :
Attribute (dataset) does not pass the type constraint because:
Validation failed for 'AG::Dataset' failed with value undef (not isa
AG::Dataset)
Given that it's legal to have undefs in there initially it seems funny not
to be allowed to revert to that state. Am I missing another property which
will allow this? I'd rather not have to remove the validation or do it
manually, seems like a backward step.
Thanks,
