       method from Type::Registry which wraps it.

   Functions
       parse($string)
           Parse the type constraint string into something like an AST.

           If called in list context, also returns any "tail" found on the original string.

       "extract_type($string, $registry)"
           Compile a type constraint string into a Type::Tiny object.

           If called in list context, also returns any "tail" found on the original string.

       "eval_type($string, $registry)"
           Compile a type constraint string into a Type::Tiny object.

           Throws an error if the "tail" contains any non-whitespace character.

   Constants
       The following constants correspond to values returned by "$token->type".

       "TYPE"
       "QUOTELIKE"
       "STRING"
