# ABSTRACT: Type constraints which can take a parameter (ArrayRef)

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class represents a parameterizable type constraint. This is a
type constraint like C<ArrayRef> or C<HashRef>, that can be
parameterized and made more specific by specifying a contained
type. For example, instead of just an C<ArrayRef> of anything, you can
specify that is an C<ArrayRef[Int]>.

A parameterizable constraint should not be used as an attribute type
constraint. Instead, when parameterized it creates a
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterized> which should be used.

=head1 INHERITANCE

C<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable> is a subclass of
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.

=head1 METHODS

This class is intentionally not documented because the API is
confusing and needs some work.

=head1 BUGS

See L<Moose/BUGS> for details on reporting bugs.
