+=head2 action
+
+Allows you to set the attributes that the dispatcher creates actions out of.
+This allows you to do 'rails style routes', or override some of the
+attribute defintions of actions composed from Roles.
+You can set arguments globally (for all actions of the controller) and
+specifically (for a single action).

+In the case above every sub in the package would be made into a Chain
+endpoint with a URI the same as the sub name for each sub, chained
+to the sub named C. Ergo dispatch to C would call the
+C method, then the C method.

+=head2 action_args
+
+Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
+globally and specifically (as above).
+This is particularly useful when using Cs
+(L) and custom Ces.

+arguments, when it is instantiated:
