Hi,
I'm not excited by the naming either, however I'd like to reserve
Parametric for a future much more awesome version of this.
Although it's awkward, its naming derives from similar namespaces in the
Moose package, so I am thinking it helps people connect the ideas.
I think in the future there's going to be an enhanced version of
MooseX::Types that would act like:
subtype(Int) Varchar,
as Str, ...
and use this code behind the scenes, so hopefully later this year this
weird naming issue will just disappear. In fact, I mostly intend this
package for type constraint developers to build on for better CPAN
tools, not necessarily aimed at end users (although in the meantime no
reason not to use it, and help me shake out bugs)
I'm going to mark the ticket as rejected only because there's no other
reasonable option. However I am keeping the basic idea in mind. Thanks
for input.
