That's perfectly viable, here's a few scenarios:

- override the action sub and declare the new attributes accordingly
- if you don't want to mess with the chaining, make the chained
action forward to a private action, then override it
- if you do want to mess with the attributes (Chained, PathPart, etc.)  use
  configuration in the child controller, like this:

__PACKAGE__->config(action => { foo => { Chained => '/bar } });

Note that you can make any method in a controller magically become an action,
by merely providing config in the way described above.
