=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This metaclass represents a union of Moose type constraints. More
-details to be explained later (possibly in a Cookbook recipe).
+This metaclass represents a union of type constraints. A union takes
+multiple type constraints, and is true if any one of its member
+constraints is true.
-This actually used to be part of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint, but it
-is now better off in it's own file.
+=head1 INHERITANCE
-=head1 METHODS
-
-This class is not a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint,
-but it does provide the same API
+C<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union> is a subclass of
+L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.

-=item B<includes_type>
+This creates a new class type constraint based on the given
+C<%options>.
-=item B<equals>
+It takes the same options as its parent. It also requires an
+additional option, C<type_constraints>. This is an array reference
+containing the L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> objects that are the
+members of the union type. The C<name> option defaults to the names
+all of these member types sorted and then joined by a pipe (|).

+The constructor sets the implementation of the constraint so that is
+simply calls C<check> on the newly created object.
-=item B<check>
+Finally, the constructor also makes sure that the object's C<coercion>
+attribute is a L<Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union> object.
-=item B<coerce>
+=item B<< $constraint->type_constraints >>
-=item B<validate>
+This returns the array reference of C<type_constraints> provided to
+the constructor.
-=item B<is_a_type_of>
+=item B<< $constraint->parents >>
-=item B<is_subtype_of>
+This returns the same constraint as the C<type_constraints> method.

-These methods tend to not be very relevant in
-the context of a union. Either that or they are
-just difficult to specify and not very useful
-anyway. They are here for completeness.
+These two methods simply call the relevant method on each of the
+member type constraints in the union. If any type accepts the value,
+the value is valid.
-=over 4
+With C<validate> the error message returned includes all of the error
+messages returned by the member type constraints.
-=item B<parent>
+=item B<< $constraint->equals($type_name_or_object) >>
-=item B<coercion>
+A type is considered equal if it is also a union type, and the two
+unions have the same member types.
-=item B<has_coercion>
+=item B<< $constraint->is_a_type_of($type_name_or_object) >>
-=item B<message>
+This returns true if any of the member type constraints return true
+for the C<is_a_type_of> method.
-=item B<has_message>
+=item B<< $constraint->is_subtype_of >>
-=item B<hand_optimized_type_constraint>
+This returns true if any of the member type constraints return true
+for the C<is_a_subtype_of> method.
-=item B<has_hand_optimized_type_constraint>
+=item B<< $constraint->create_child_type(%options) >>
-=item B<create_child_type>
+This returns a new L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint> object with the type
+as its parent.
