NAME
Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter::Behavior - Default type-specific actions for a parameter.
DESCRIPTION
Provides a standard set of functionality for a Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter so that the developer of a policy does not have to provide it her/himself. The developer can override most of the functionality in the subclasses; these are just defaults.
All subclasses have singleton instances held onto by Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter.
INTERFACE SUPPORT
This is considered to be a non-public class. Its interface is subject to change without notice.

Note that this may return
undefif the parameter itself doesn't have a description. Also, the returned value may include multiple lines.
