DESCRIPTION

29       Generally speaking, you probably don't want to be using this module
30       directly.  Instead use the "lookup" method from Type::Registry which
31       wraps it.
32
33   Functions
34       "parse($string)"
35           Parse the type constraint string into something like an AST.
36
37           If called in list context, also returns any "tail" found on the
38           original string.
39
40       "extract_type($string, $registry)"
41           Compile a type constraint string into a Type::Tiny object.
42
43           If called in list context, also returns any "tail" found on the
44           original string.
45
46       "eval_type($string, $registry)"
47           Compile a type constraint string into a Type::Tiny object.
48
49           Throws an error if the "tail" contains any non-whitespace
50           character.
51
52   Constants
53       The following constants correspond to values returned by
54       "$token->type".
55
56       "TYPE"
57       "QUOTELIKE"
58       "STRING"
59       "CLASS"
60       "L_BRACKET"
61       "R_BRACKET"
62       "COMMA"
63       "SLURPY"
64       "UNION"
