+=head1 NAME
+
+Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Parameterizable - 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
+
+All complex software has bugs lurking in it, and this module is no
+exception. If you find a bug please either email me, or add the bug
+to cpan-RT.
