I'm talking about the difference between single and multiple  
dispatch. Catalyst's action attributes whether they're local, path,  
regex, chained, etc. all are specific to the request uri. The  
dispatcher tries each dispatch type until if finds one that matches  
the path.

I've modified the dispatcher so I can dispatch an action if it  
matches request method and uri path. Dispatching based on workflow  
states would be a nice addition. I've looked at Class::Workflow, but  
never got past just looking at it. Yes, it does interest me.

However, what I've done is a hack to meet my needs. It'd be nice if  
there were a generic catalyst dispatcher which handled multiple  
dispatch.

cheers,
