Eliminate recursion warnings when Type::Parser needs to parse complex types (CPAN RT#121957)
Better handling of coercions for pre-declared types in Type::Library; the type objects created before the type was properly defined will now lazily attempt to find coercions from the properly defined type once it becomes available
