MooseX::Meta::TypeConstraint::ForceCoercion - Force coercion when validating type constraints

type_constraint
       The type constraint to wrap. All methods except for "validate" and "check" are delegated to the value of
       this attribute.

       This class allows to wrap any "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint" in a way that will force coercion of the
       value when checking or validating a value against it.

check($value)
       Same as "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::check", except it will always try to coerce $value before checking
       it against the actual type constraint. If coercing fails the check will fail, too.

   validate($value,$coerced_ref?)
       Same as "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::validate", except it will always try to coerce $value before
       validating it against the actual type constraint. If coercing fails the validation will fail, too.

       If coercion was successful and a $coerced_ref references was passed, the coerced value will be stored in
       that.

           # coercions for the wrapped type, even if the value already passes
           # validation before coercion. it will fail if the value couldn't be
           # coerced
           $coercing_tc->check('Affe');
