I understand what your saying here, but can't figure out how to
implement it or how it's useful.  I've read the docs about
ACCEPT_CONTEXT in Catalyst::Manual::Intro and Catalyst::Component, but
don't understand how this makes getting to that information easier.

It doesn't seem that hard to say:

$c->model('DBIC::Orders')->search({ user_id => $current_uid || $c->user->id });

If the ACCEPT_CONTEXT is a cool new way to handle (what seem to me as)
global variables, I'd love to use it, but wonder if you could give a
small example.

Thanks,
Kevin
