Ok. The majority seems to prefer that. Let's go for it.


Did you leave of the [] to actually return a array ref on purpose? Do
you expect the return value to be coerced into the type constraint
automatically? Even if you didn't: I think we need a way to explicitly
enable or disable coercion. Any thoughts about the syntax for that?
