+A private path to the Catalyst action you want to create a URI for.
+
+This is a shortcut for calling C<< $c->dispatcher->get_action_by_path($path)
+>> and passing the resulting C<$action> and the remaining arguments to C<<
+$c->uri_for >>.
+
+You can also pass in a Catalyst::Action object, in which case it is passed to
+C<< $c->uri_for >>.
