-The name of the component within an application. This is used to

=head2 $c->config
=head2 $c->config($hashref)
will be merged with any existing config settings. Each component in
a Catalyst application has its own config hash.
+The component's config hash is merged with any config entry on the
+application for this component and passed to C<new()> (as mentioned
+above at L</COMPONENT>). The common practice to access the merged
+config is to use a Moose attribute for each config entry on the
+receiving component.
+
=head2 $c->process()
This is the default method called on a Catalyst component in the dispatcher.
Merges two hashes together recursively, giving right-hand precedence.
Alias for the method in L<Catalyst::Utils>.
+=head2 $c->expand_modules( $setup_component_config )
+
+Return a list of extra components that this component has created. By default,
+it just looks for a list of inner packages of this component
