[Catalyst] Changes to the behavior of $c->namespace in 5.7013

Hey,

We are seeing a change to the behavior of $c->namespace in the latest Catalyst release. Previously, this method would return a value similar to $c->controller->action_namespace, but now it seems to return the namespace of whatever the last controller that handled the request was.

I am guessing the change comes from:

sub dispatch { # Execute ourselves against a context
my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
- local $c->namespace = $self->namespace;
+ local $c->{namespace} = $self->namespace;
return $c->execute( $self->class, $self );
}

Where we are no long localizing $c->namespace.

I'd just like to clarify this is the behavior we want and see if we can cook up a test for it. Is this giving anyone else trouble?

Sincerely,
John Napiorkowski
