[Catalyst-dev] Feature request: post_setup.

[Oleg Pronin]

I used this technique before. I thought it was a some kinda hack. There is a
bug using setup_finished for 'post_setup' purpose.

We use company-wide framework based on catalyst and MyApp inherits from some
Company::Catalyst and the 'post_setup' logic implemented there in
'setup_finished'.

but setup_finished is an Class::Data::Inheritable accessor. C::D::I
dynamically creates setup_finished subroutine in MyApp on first call
(without '1' parameter) and Company::Catalyst's setup_finished will never be
called after.
