=head1 NAME

Coat:Meta::TypeConstraint - The Coat Type Constraint metaclass

=head1 DESCRIPTION

For the most part, the only time you will ever encounter an
instance of this class is if you are doing some serious deep
introspection. This API should not be considered final, but
it is B<highly unlikely> that this will matter to a regular
Coat user.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<new>

Constructor

=item B<coerce ($value)>

This will apply the type-coercion if applicable.

=item B<validate ($value)>

If the C<$value> passes the constraint, C<undef> will be
returned. If the C<$value> does B<not> pass the constraint, then
the C<message> will be used to construct a custom error message.

=item B<has_coercion>
Return true if coercion has been defined, false otherwise.
