Branding, themes, cookie-less sessions, and language selection were
examples of application of path prefixes.  I'm not trying to solve
those specific problems, rather how in catalyst I can use path
prefixes for whatever use.

IIRC, what I've done in the past is use a PerlTransHandler and look at
the path and shift a segment off if it's a valid prefix (for any
number of levels of prefixes).  Then set pnotes and $ENV to the full
path for creating self-referential links that include the prefix(es)
but dispatch works as if the prefixes didn't exist.

When I get a chance I'll look at what phaylon suggested with
prepare_request.  Have to figure out what that means, first. ;)
