<br>
I was a little puzzled when I saw the "Use Dancer :syntax" disappear in<br>
the 0.007 release.<br>
I thought that a less powerful Dancer inclusion was needed as the "Use<br>
Dancer" create an App in every package is used.<br>
Thinking about it I realized that probably it's a matter of "code<br>
discipline" (tell me if I'm wrong). The right way to do things is not<br>
importing "a part" of Dancer environment, but passing the $dsl object<br>
when needed, so I accepted that.<br>
<br>
Even so, I think that there's a case when a "light" dancer import is<br>
needed and it is when you need to use some configuration you have in<br>
the config.yml that should be the master configuration file for<br>
everything in your project (in my idea).<br>
<br>
So I was wondering if it could be useful to add a "Use Dancer :config"<br>
way to import Dancer just to make the config keyword accessible,<br>
without creating an App.<br>
<br>
What do you think about this?<br>
