[Catalyst] Code question about Path dispatch type

[Bill Moseley]

I noticed that register_path uses URI->canonical:

sub register_path {
    my ( $self, $c, $path, $action ) = @_;
    $path =~ s!^/!!;
    $path = '/' unless length $path;
    $path = URI->new($path)->canonical;

    unshift( @{ $self->{paths}{$path} ||= [] }, $action);

    return 1;
}

I'm confused, when would a Path attribute be a full URI?

BTW -- 

  3178   matthewt     $path = URI->new($path)->canonical;

If I try to get to that version in svn I get a redirect loop:
