Yes, it totally could.

Especially if your controller things are implemented as chained path
parts, this is an extremely powerful technique.

I was keeping quiet until I got chance to blog about a larger / more
complex example, which would better illustrate the question actually
posed, but given you brought it up anyway:

you want Cat 5.80003 and MooseX::MethodAttributes 0.12 or higher for it
to work right, but given you're running those it works well.

I'm currently porting some work code which has really complex structures
of repeated url hierarchies to use roles, rather than fairly involved
multiple inheritance, and the code is getting much easier for my brain
to understand as I go..
