Any coercion to convert values is done before checking the type constraint.
To check a value against a type constraint before setting it, fetch the
-attribute instance using L<Moose::Meta::Attribute/find_attribute_by_name>,
+attribute instance using L<Class::MOP::Class/find_attribute_by_name>,
fetch the type_constraint from the attribute using L<Moose::Meta::Attribute/type_constraint>
and call L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint/check>. See L<Moose::Cookbook::RecipeX>
for an example.

=item B<clone_and_inherit_options>
This is to support the C<has '+foo'> feature, it clones an attribute
from a superclass and allows a very specific set of changes to be made
to the attribute.

Returns true if this meta-attribute has a type constraint.

+
+The reason for the different naming of the C<builder> is that the C<builder>
+method is a private method while the C<clearer> and C<predicate> methods
+are public methods.
NOTE: This means your class should provide a method whose name matches the value
-of the builder part, in this case _build_foo or build_foo.
+of the builder part, in this case _build__foo or _build_foo.
=item B<should_coerce>
Returns true if this meta-attribute has any documentation.
+=item B<applied_traits>
+
+This will return the ARRAY ref of all the traits applied to this
+attribute, or if no traits have been applied, it returns C<undef>.
+
+=item B<has_applied_traits>

+Returns true if this meta-attribute has any traits applied.
