This would be a really nice feature to have in MooseX::Types - no one's made this happen yet though, sadly. (Patches welcome!) :) Also, Types::Tiny does have an option to support this already. I'd strongly suggest avoiding declaring named types using Moose::Util::TypeConstraints though, because such types are global (as are their coercions), which can cause nasty action-at-a-distance errors. You can get around this problem by declaring types only as local lexicals, e.g: my $type = subtype as ...;
