Precisely. Reaction drops in happily to any existing Cat app, we've  
done hybrids and gradual ports already. The only thing to remember is  
that it expects the I18N plugin to be loaded since all text is run  
through that before display, and you need to have a  
Reaction::UI::Renderer::XHTML subclass under MyApp::View for it to use.

Reaction also pretty much solely uses Chained, so sticking R-based  
controllers off under a prefix of some sort isn't an issue.
