NAME
       Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union - A union of Moose type constraints

DESCRIPTION
       This metaclass represents a union of type constraints. A union takes multiple type
       constraints, and is true if any one of its member constraints is true.

INHERITANCE
       "Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union" is a subclass of Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint.

       Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint::Union->new(%options)
           This creates a new class type constraint based on the given %options.

           It takes the same options as its parent. It also requires an additional option,
           "type_constraints". This is an array reference containing the
           Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint objects that are the members of the union type. The "name"
           option defaults to the names all of these member types sorted and then joined by a
           pipe (|).

           The constructor sets the implementation of the constraint so that is simply calls
           "check" on the newly created object.

           Finally, the constructor also makes sure that the object's "coercion" attribute is a
           Moose::Meta::TypeCoercion::Union object.

       $constraint->type_constraints
           This returns the array reference of "type_constraints" provided to the constructor.

       $constraint->parents
           This returns the same constraint as the "type_constraints" method.

       $constraint->check($value)
       $constraint->validate($value)
           These two methods simply call the relevant method on each of the member type
           constraints in the union. If any type accepts the value, the value is valid.

           With "validate" the error message returned includes all of the error messages returned
           by the member type constraints.

       $constraint->equals($type_name_or_object)
           A type is considered equal if it is also a union type, and the two unions have the
           same member types.

       $constraint->is_a_type_of($type_name_or_object)
           This returns true if any of the member type constraints return true for the
           "is_a_type_of" method.

       $constraint->is_subtype_of
           This returns true if any of the member type constraints return true for the
           "is_a_subtype_of" method.

       $constraint->create_child_type(%options)
           This returns a new Moose::Meta::TypeConstraint object with the type as its parent.
