[Catalyst] New built in action!

We (mostly Matt) just finished the new dispatcher, so we were able to  
implement a new feature many of you requested.

The "index" action! :)

This action is much like "default" but doesn't take arguments and is  
weighted a bit higher.
So the new order is "normal action", "index", "default".

Available in trunk as usual, and part of the upcoming 5.5 release.

     http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Catalyst/trunk

Here are some examples:

#
# "/"         - index will match
# "/yada"     - default will match
# "/bar"      - bar will match
# "/foo"      - index in controller will match
# "/foo/yada" - default in controller will match
# "/foo/baz"  - baz in controller will match
#
package MyApp;
sub index : Private {}
sub default : Private {}
sub bar : Global {}

package MyApp::C::Foo;
sub index : Private {}
sub default : Private {}
sub baz : Local {}
