-This is B<NOT> a type system for Perl 5.
+=head2 Important Caveat
+
+This is B<NOT> a type system for Perl 5. These are type constraints,
+and they are not used by Moose unless you tell it to. No type
+inference is performed, expression are not typed, etc. etc. etc.
+
+This is simply a means of creating small constraint functions which
+can be used to simplify your own type-checking code.
+
+=head2 Default Type Constraints
This module also provides a simple hierarchy for Perl 5 types, this
could probably use some work, but it works for me at the moment.

=head1 FUNCTIONS
=item B<find_type_constraint ($type_name)>
-=item B<create_type_constraint ($type_name, $type_constraint)>
-
-=item B<install_type_coercions>
+This function can be used to locate a specific type constraint
+meta-object. What you do with it from there is up to you :)
=item B<export_type_contstraints_as_functions>
+This will export all the current type constraints as functions
+into the caller's namespace. Right now, this is mostly used for
+testing, but it might prove useful to others.
+
=back
=head2 Type Constraint Constructors
+The following functions are used to create type constraints.
+They will then register the type constraints in a global store
+where Moose can get to them if it needs to.
+
+See the L<SYNOPOSIS> for an example of how to use these.

=over 4
-=item B<type>
+=item B<type ($name, $where_clause)>
-=item B<subtype>
+This creates a base type, which has no parent.
-=item B<as>
+=item B<subtype ($name, $parent, $where_clause, ?$message)>
-=item B<where>
+This creates a named subtype.
-=item B<coerce>
+=item B<subtype ($parent, $where_clause, ?$message)>
-=item B<from>
+This creates an unnamed subtype and will return the type
+constraint meta-object, which will be an instance of
+L<Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint>.
-=item B<via>
+=item B<as>

+This is just sugar for the type constraint construction syntax.

+=head2 Type Coercion Constructors
-=item B<Ref>
+Type constraints can also contain type coercions as well. In most
+cases Moose will run the type-coercion code first, followed by the
+type constraint check. This feature should be used carefully as it
+is very powerful and could easily take off a limb if you are not
+careful.
