NAME
       Type::Registry - a glorified hashref for looking up type constraints

SYNOPSIS
          package Foo::Bar;

          use Type::Registry;

          my $reg = "Type::Registry"->for_me;  # a registry for Foo::Bar

          # Register all types from Types::Standard
          $reg->add_types(-Standard);

          # Register just one type from Types::XSD
          $reg->add_types(-XSD => ["NonNegativeInteger"]);

          # Register all types from MyApp::Types
          $reg->add_types("MyApp::Types");

          # Create a type alias
          $reg->alias_type("NonNegativeInteger" => "Count");

          # Look up a type constraint
          my $type = $reg->lookup("ArrayRef[Count]");

          $type->check([1, 2, 3.14159]);  # croaks

       Alternatively:

          package Foo::Bar;

          use Type::Registry qw( t );

          # Register all types from Types::Standard
          t->add_types(-Standard);

          # Register just one type from Types::XSD
          t->add_types(-XSD => ["NonNegativeInteger"]);

          # Register all types from MyApp::Types
          t->add_types("MyApp::Types");

          # Create a type alias
          t->alias_type("NonNegativeInteger" => "Count");

          # Look up a type constraint
          my $type = t("ArrayRef[Count]");

          $type->check([1, 2, 3.14159]);  # croaks

STATUS
       This module is covered by the Type-Tiny stability policy.

DESCRIPTION
       A type registry is basically just a hashref mapping type names to type constraint objects.

   Constructors
       "new"
           Create a new glorified hashref.

       "for_class($class)"
           Create or return the existing glorified hashref associated with the given class.

           Note that any type constraint you have imported from Type::Library-based type
           libraries will be automatically available in your class' registry.

       "for_me"
           Create or return the existing glorified hashref associated with the caller.

   Methods
       "add_types(@libraries)"
           The libraries list is treated as an "optlist" (a la Data::OptList).

           Strings are the names of type libraries; if the first character is a hyphen, it is
           expanded to the "Types::" prefix. If followed by an arrayref, this is the list of
           types to import from that library.  Otherwise, imports all types from the library.

              use Type::Registry qw(t);

              t->add_types(-Standard);  # OR: t->add_types("Types::Standard");

              t->add_types(
                 -TypeTiny => ['HashLike'],
                 -Standard => ['HashRef' => { -as => 'RealHash' }],
              );

           MooseX::Types (and experimentally, MouseX::Types) libraries can also be added this
           way, but cannot be followed by an arrayref of types to import.

       "add_type($type, $name)"
           The long-awaited singular form of "add_types". Given a type constraint object, adds it
           to the registry with a given name. The name may be omitted, in which case
           "$type->name" is called, and Type::Registry will throw an error if $type is anonymous.
           If a name is explicitly given, Type::Registry cares not one wit whether the type
           constraint is anonymous.

           This method can even add MooseX::Types and MouseX::Types type constraints; indeed
           anything that can be handled by Types::TypeTiny's "to_TypeTiny" function. (Bear in
           mind that to_TypeTiny always results in an anonymous type constraint, so $name will be
           required.)

       "alias_type($oldname, $newname)"
           Create an alias for an existing type.

       "simple_lookup($name)"
           Look up a type in the registry by name.

           Returns undef if not found.

       "foreign_lookup($name)"
           Like "simple_lookup", but if the type name contains "::", will attempt to load it from
           a type library. (And will attempt to load that module.)

       "lookup($name)"
           Look up by name, with a DSL.

              t->lookup("Int|ArrayRef[Int]")

           The DSL can be summed up as:

              X               type from this registry
              My::Lib::X      type from a type library
              ~X              complementary type
              X | Y           union
              X & Y           intersection
              X[...]          parameterized type
              slurpy X        slurpy type
              Foo::Bar::      class type

           Croaks if not found.

       "make_union(@constraints)", "make_intersection(@constraints)", "make_class_type($class)",
       "make_role_type($role)"
           Convenience methods for creating certain common type constraints.

       "AUTOLOAD"
           Overloaded to call "lookup".

              $registry->Str;  # like $registry->lookup("Str")

       "get_parent", "set_parent($reg)", "clear_parent", "has_parent"
           Advanced stuff. Allows a registry to have a "parent" registry which it inherits type
           constraints from.

   Functions
       "t" This class can export a function "t" which acts like
           ""Type::Registry"->for_class($importing_class)".
