DESCRIPTION
       Jifty::Dispatcher rocks!

KEYWORDS
   dispatcher -> Dispatcher
       Returns the Path::Dispatcher object for this class; the object that the sugar is modifying. This is useful for adding custom rules through
       the regular API, and inspection.

   dispatch path -> Dispatch
       Invokes the dispatcher on the given path and returns a Path::Dispatcher::Dispatch object. Acts as a keyword within the same package;
       otherwise as a method (since these declarative dispatchers are supposed to be used by other packages).

   run path, args
       Performs a dispatch then invokes the "run" in Path::Dispatcher::Dispatch method on it.

   on path => sub {}
       Adds a rule to the dispatcher for the given path. The path may be:

       a string
	   This is taken to mean a single token; creates an Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Tokens rule.

       an array reference
	   This is creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Tokens rule.

       a regular expression
	   This is creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Regex rule.

       a code reference
	   This is creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::CodeRef rule.

   under path => sub {}
       Creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Under rule. The contents of the coderef should be nothing other "on" and "under" calls.

   then sub { }
       Creates a Path::Dispatcher::Rule::Always rule that will continue on to the next rule via "next_rule"

       The only argument is a coderef that processes normally (like on).

       NOTE: You *can* avoid running a following rule by using "last_rule".

       An example:

	   under show => sub {
	       then {
		   print "Displaying ";
	       };
	       on inventory => sub {
		   print "inventory:
";
		   ...
	       };
	       on score => sub {
		   print "score:
";
		   ...
	       };
