=head1 NAME

Catalyst::Dispatcher - The Catalyst Dispatcher

=head1 SYNOPSIS

See L<Catalyst>.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is the class that maps public urls to actions in your Catalyst
application based on the attributes you set.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new 

Construct a new dispatcher.

=head2 $self->preload_dispatch_types

An arrayref of pre-loaded dispatchtype classes

Entries are considered to be available as C<Catalyst::DispatchType::CLASS>
To use a custom class outside the regular C<Catalyst> namespace, prefix
it with a C<+>, like so:

    +My::Dispatch::Type

=head2 $self->postload_dispatch_types

An arrayref of post-loaded dispatchtype classes

Entries are considered to be available as C<Catalyst::DispatchType::CLASS>
To use a custom class outside the regular C<Catalyst> namespace, prefix
it with a C<+>, like so:

    +My::Dispatch::Type
