I'm not sure how related this is, but it's partially the approach I'm
taking with Mango. I'm trying to assume form the beginning that it's
parts should be easily added to other Cat apps. All of the MyApp::*
classes are just subclasses of core Mango::Catalyst::* classes...

In other words, MyApp::Controller::Cart is just a subclass of
Mango::Catalyst::Controller::Cart...
Don't like /cart/...rename to MyApp::Controller::Basket

Probably why I always foam at the mouth about calling it ..Framework, so
I keep reminding myself it's not a solution, but another set of lego blocks.
