+Constructs an absolute L<URI> object based on the application root, the

+When used as a string, provides a textual URI.
+
+If the first argument is a string, it is taken as a public URI path relative
+to C<< $c->namespace >> (if it doesn't begin with a forward slash) or
+relative to the application root (if it does). It is then merged with
+C<< $c->request->base >>; any C<@args> are appended as additional path
+components; and any C<%query_values> are appended as C<?foo=bar> parameters.
+
+If the first argument is a L<Catalyst::Action> it represents an action which
+will have its path resolved using C<< $c->dispatcher->uri_for_action >>. The
+optional C<\@captures> argument (an arrayref) allows passing the captured
+variables that are needed to fill in the paths of Chained and Regex actions;
+once the path is resolved, C<uri_for> continues as though a path was
+provided, appending any arguments or parameters and creating an absolute
+URI.

+The captures for the current request can be found in
+C<< $c->request->captures >>, and actions can be resolved using
+C<< Catalyst::Controller->action_for($name) >>. If you have a private action
+path, use C<< $c->uri_for_action >> instead.
