=head1 SYNOPSIS
=back
+Note that if the type is a constant, C<$_[0]> will be set to the I<value> of constant and not to its name.
+
+ use Lexical::Types as => sub { $_[0] => 'new' };
+ use constant Str => 'MyStr';
+ my Str $x; # calls MyStr->new
+
+This means in particular that you can't both use constant types and redirect several types to different methods of the same package, because then you can't distinguish between the original types with C<$_[0]>.
+

sub new_int { ... }
+If you prefer to use constants rather than creating empty packages, you can replace the previous example with something like this :
+
+ package MyTypes;
+
+ BEGIN { require Lexical::Types; }
+
+ sub import {
+ my $pkg = caller;
+ for (qw/Str Int/) {
+ my $type = __PACKAGE__ . '::' . $_;
+ no strict 'refs';
+ no warnings 'redefine';
+ *{$pkg.'::'.$_} = eval "sub () { '$type' }";
+ }
+ Lexical::Types->import(
+ as => sub { $_[0] => 'new' }
+ );
+ }
+
+ sub unimport {
+ Lexical::Types->unimport;
+ }
+
+ package MyTypes::Str;
+
+ sub new { ... }
+
+ package MyTypes::Int;
+
+ sub new { ... }
