Sorry, I wasn't very clear in that sentence.   It's a bit more involved
than this, but I'm looking at applying a controller role (one with actions)
dynamically.   So, the code ends up something like:

package MyApp;

after setup_components =3D> sub {

my $self =3D shift;
my $controller $self->controller( 'Foo' );
use My::Role::With::Actions;
My::Role::With::Actions->meta->apply( $controller );


Results in:

Composing MooseX::MethodAttributes::Role::Meta::Role::Application onto
instances is unsupported



That makes sense to me -- for one thing Catalyst would not know about the
actions in the role.
