Just a personal request for Day 5. Please please please cover the trials
and tribulations of the damn ending / variations.

uri_for($id, 'create/')

vs.

uri_for($id, 'create', '/')

vs.

uri_for($action, '.')


vs.

uri_for($action . '.')

vs.

begin {
   ...code to append / if it's not there///
}


Every single time I step away from Catalyst for a while and come back,
this is the first thing I constantly fight. Not all ways end in the same
output, and it's damn annoying imho...but I annoy easily. :-)

For folk who are in the "but it's a resource so it shoulodn't end in /"
camp, the defaults work just dandy. For us folk who like the "always end
things in /" side of things, it's a constant struggle...across versions
and across different ways to use uri_for, and action_for, even in the
latest version.
