B<NOTE:> Any type followed by a type parameter C<[`a]> can be
parameterized, this means you can say:
- ArrayRef[Int] # an array of intergers
+ ArrayRef[Int] # an array of integers
HashRef[CodeRef] # a hash of str to CODE ref mappings
Maybe[Str] # value may be a string, may be undefined
+If Moose finds a name in brackets that it does not recognize as an
+existing type, it assumes that this is a class name, for example
+C<ArrayRef[DateTime]>.
+
+B<NOTE:> Unless you parameterize a type, then it is invalid to
+include the square brackets. I.e. C<ArrayRef[]> will be
+literally interpreted as a type name.
+
B<NOTE:> The C<Undef> type constraint for the most part works
correctly now, but edge cases may still exist, please use it
-sparringly.
+sparingly.
B<NOTE:> The C<ClassName> type constraint does a complex package
existence check. This means that your class B<must> be loaded for
this type constraint to pass. I know this is not ideal for all,
but it is a saner restriction than most others.
-=head2 Type Constraint Naming
+B<NOTE:> The C<RoleName> constraint checks a string is I<package name>
+which is a role, like C<'MyApp::Role::Comparable'>. The C<Role>
+constraint checks that an I<object> does the named role.
+
+=head2 Type Constraint Naming
-Since the types created by this module are global, it is suggested
-that you namespace your types just as you would namespace your
+Type name declared via this module can only contain alphanumeric
+characters, colons (:), and periods (.).
+
+Since the types created by this module are global, it is suggested

-module, you would call the type I<My::Graphics::Color> instead.

=head2 Use with Other Constraint Modules
For instance, this is how you could use it with
L<Declare::Constraints::Simple> to declare a completely new type.

=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over 4
-=item B<type ($name, $where_clause)>
+=item B<type 'Name' => where { } ... >
This creates a base type, which has no parent.
-=item B<subtype ($name, $parent, $where_clause, ?$message)>
+The C<type> function should either be called with the sugar helpers
+(C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a name and a hashref of
+parameters:
+
+ type( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );
+
+The valid hashref keys are C<where>, C<message>, and C<optimize_as>.
+
+=item B<subtype 'Name' => as 'Parent' => where { } ...>
This creates a named subtype.
-=item B<subtype ($parent, $where_clause, ?$message)>
+If you provide a parent that Moose does not recognize, it will
+automatically create a new class type constraint for this name.
+
+When creating a named type, the C<subtype> function should either be
+called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with a
+name and a hashref of parameters:
+
+ subtype( 'Foo', { where => ..., message => ... } );
+
+The valid hashref keys are C<as> (the parent), C<where>, C<message>,
+and C<optimize_as>.
+
+=item B<subtype as 'Parent' => where { } ...>
This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type
constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of
L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
+When creating an anonymous type, the C<subtype> function should either
+be called with the sugar helpers (C<where>, C<message>, etc), or with
+just a hashref of parameters:
+
+ subtype( { where => ..., message => ... } );
+
=item B<class_type ($class, ?$options)>
-Creates a type constraint with the name C<$class> and the metaclass
-L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class>.
+Creates a new subtype of C<Object> with the name C<$class> and the
+metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Class>.
=item B<role_type ($role, ?$options)>
-Creates a type constraint with the name C<$role> and the metaclass
-L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role>.
+Creates a C<Role> type constraint with the name C<$role> and the
+metaclass L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Role>.
+
+=item B<maybe_type ($type)>
+
+Creates a type constraint for either C<undef> or something of the
+given type.
=item B<enum ($name, @values)>
will match any of the items in C<@values>. It is case sensitive.
See the L<SYNOPSIS> for a simple example.
-B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simple
-a convient constraint builder.
+B<NOTE:> This is not a true proper enum type, it is simply
+a convenient constraint builder.
=item B<enum (\@values)>
This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.
+Takes a block/code ref as an argument. When the type constraint is
+tested, the supplied code is run with the value to be tested in
+$_. This block should return true or false to indicate whether or not
+the constraint check passed.
