    {
        my $check = validation_for(
            params => {
                foo => { type => Int },
                bar => {
                    type     => Str,
                    optional => 1,
                },
                baz => {
                    type    => Int,
                    default => 42,

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<This is very alpha. The module name could change. Everything could
change. You have been warned.>

Create a customized, optimized, non-lobotomized, uncompromised, and thoroughly
specialized parameter checking subroutine.

=for Pod::Coverage compile

=head1 EXPORTS

This module has two options exports, C<validation_for> and C<source_for>. Both
of these subs accept the same options:

=over 4

=item * params

An arrayref or hashref containing a parameter specification.

If you pass an arrayref, the check will expect positional params. Each member
of the arrayref represents a single parameter to validate.

If you pass a hashref then it will expect named params. For hashrefs, the
parameters names are the keys and the specs are the values.

The spec can contain either a boolean or hashref. If the spec is a boolean,
this indicates required (true) or optional (false).

The hashref accepts the following keys:

=over 8

=item * type

A type object. This can be a L<Moose> type (from L<Moose> or
L<MooseX::Types>), a L<Type::Tiny> type, or a L<Specio> type.

If the type has coercions, those will always be used.

=item * default

This can either be a simple (non-reference) scalar or a subroutine
reference. The sub ref will be called without any arguments (for now).

=item * optional

A boolean indicating whether or not the parameter is optional. By default,
parameters are required unless you provide a default.

=back

=item * slurpy

If this is a simple true value, then the generated subroutine accepts
additional arguments not specified in C<params>. By default, extra arguments
cause an exception.

You can also pass a type constraint here, in which case all extra arguments
must be values of the specified type.

=back

=head2 validation_for(...)

This returns a subroutine that implements the specific parameter
checking. Pass this the arguments in C<@_> and it will return a hash of
parameters or throw an exception. The generated subroutine accepts either a
hash or a single hashref.

For now, you must shift off the invocant yourself.

This subroutine accepts an additional parameter:

=over 4

=item * name

If this is given, then the generated subroutine will be named using
L<Sub::Name>. This is strongly recommended as it makes it possible to
distinguish different check subroutines when profiling or in stack traces.

=back

=head2 source_for(...)

This returns a two element list. The first is a string containing the source
code for the generated sub. The second is a hashref of "environment" variables
to be used when generating the subroutine. These are the arguments that are
passed to L<Eval::Closure>.

=head1 SUPPORT

Bugs may be submitted through L<the RT bug tracker|http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Params-CheckCompiler>
(or L<[e-mail]|mailto:[e-mail]>).

I am also usually active on IRC as 'drolsky' on C<irc://irc.perl.org>.

=head1 DONATIONS

If you'd like to thank me for the work I've done on this module, please
consider making a "donation" to me via PayPal. I spend a lot of free time
creating free software, and would appreciate any support you'd care to offer.

Please note that B<I am not suggesting that you must do this> in order for me
to continue working on this particular software. I will continue to do so,
inasmuch as I have in the past, for as long as it interests me.

Similarly, a donation made in this way will probably not make me work on this
software much more, unless I get so many donations that I can consider working
on free software full time (let's all have a chuckle at that together).

To donate, log into PayPal and send money to [e-mail], or use the
