No, just pointing out that trying to use the framework for what it is is
always going to be easier than trying to duplicate features it already has
in a manner oriented around the model of something that doesn't.

I used Maypole before I came to Catalyst; when I port things I usually
find I can throw things like parse_path away because the Catalyst :Path,
:Regex etc. dispatch attributes allow you to implement everything it can
do and then some in a much more convenient fashion.
