 Allows you to set constructor arguments on your actions. You can set arguments
-globally (for all actions of the controller) and specifically (for a single
-action). This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
+globally and specifically (as above).
+This is particularly useful when using C<ActionRole>s
 (L<Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole>) and custom C<ActionClass>es.
