=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a subclass of C<Catalyst::Request> that applies the
-L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST> which adds a few methods to
-the request object to faciliate writing REST-y code.
+L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST> role to your request class. That trait
+adds a few methods to the request object to facilitate writing REST-y code.
-This class is only here for backwards compatibility with applications
-already subclassing this class.
+This class is only here for backwards compatibility with applications already
+subclassing this class. New code should use
+L<Catalyst::TraitFor::Request::REST> directly.
L<Catalyst::Action::REST> and L<Catalyst::Controller::REST> will arrange
for the request trait to be applied if needed.
