=head1 NAME

MooseX::Types::Util - Common utility functions for the distribution

=head1 VERSION

version 0.35

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This package the exportable functions that many parts in 
L<MooseX::Types> might need.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 filter_tags

Takes a list and returns two references. The first is a hash reference
containing the tags as keys and the number of their appearance as values.
The second is an array reference containing all other elements.

=head2 has_available_type_export

TypeConstraint | Undef = has_available_type_export($package, $name);

This function allows you to introspect if a given type export is available 
I<at this point in time>. This means that the C<$package> must have imported
a typeconstraint with the name C<$name>, and it must be still in its symbol
table.

Two arguments are expected:

=over 4

=item $package

The name of the package to introspect.

=item $name

The name of the type export to introspect.

=back

B<Note> that the C<$name> is the I<exported> name of the type, not the declared
one. This means that if you use L<Sub::Exporter>s functionality to rename an import
like this:

use MyTypes Str => { -as => 'MyStr' };

you would have to introspect this type like this:

has_available_type_export $package, 'MyStr';

The return value will be either the type constraint that belongs to the export
or an undefined value.
