You can subclass Dispatch. That's not a problem. I do it all the time. But you
subclass it to create a custom dispatch module, not an application module. For
that you subclass C::A itself. Remember, Dispatch sits outside of your
application modules and dispatches to them. The prime use case is when you have
lots of application modules. For instance, Smolder has 11 application modules
(which inherit from C::A) and 1 dispatch module (which inherits from Dispatch).
