So if i want to use this for all URLs under a certain prefix, I would
direct the route to my subclass of TurboGearsController, using action
"route" (always?).
Line 66 (object_dispatch) returns my TG action method in all its
decorated glory, line 85 calls it and receives a dict, and line 88
calls a special render_response that invokes the template.
render_response is copying things out of the 'c' variable, so
templates would use '${foo}' rather than '${c.foo}' for data values.
Is this right?
I have long thought about making a TG-style dispatcher for Pylons.
It's great that somebody with more expertise has actually done it.

This reminds me of Quixote, especially the '._q_lookup' method. Did
they borrow it from him or did he borrow it from them?
