[Catalyst] setting/getting session data from within tests

[Daniel McBrearty]

I can see your point, I think - need to think about this. Thank you.

what happens to the catalyst routing though when you have uri :

http://www.example.net/fr/some_controller/some_action

instead of :

http://www.example.net/some_controller/some_action

An auto acton in the route to get the language out of the uri? and all
actions have to match on a regex?
or is there a simpler way?
