This is a type constraint like C or C, that can be parameterized and made more specific by specifying a contained type. For example, instead of just an C of anything, you can specify that is an C. A parameterizable constraint should not be used as an attribute type constraint. Instead, when parameterized it creates a L which should be used. =head1 INHERITANCE C is a subclass of L. =head1 METHODS This class is intentionally not documented because the API is confusing and needs some work. =head1 BUGS See L for details on reporting bugs. =head1 AUTHOR Stevan Little Estevan@iinteractive.comE =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 2006-2010 by Infinity Interactive, Inc.
