sub lang : Chained('/') CaptureArgs(1) PathPart(''){
  my ($self, $c, $lang) = @_;

  # need to check that $lang is valid and handle that here
  if (valid($lang)) {
} else {
}

}

sub doit : Chained('lang') Args(0) {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
}

this now matches /*/doit, and doit needs to be able to rely on the
language being in the stash.

in fact there are a number of ways the language can be detected. For
me, these are (highest priority first) ... :

1. the uri
2. the session (maybe, i'm thinking about this ... the argument is
that the user shouldn't have to manually set the language twice while
a cookie persists).
3. the browser settings.

so we need to try these in turn ... as soon as we get a valid value,
set it in the session/stash where all downstream actions get it.
