=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package MyClass;
    use Moose;
    use MooseX::Types::LoadableClass qw/ LoadableClass /;

    has foobar_class => (
        is => 'ro',

    );

    MyClass->new(foobar_class => 'FooBar'); # FooBar.pm is loaded or an

    use Moose::Util::TypeConstraints;

    my $tc = subtype as ClassName;
    coerce $tc, from Str, via { Class::Load::load_class($_); $_ };
