I think I understand what you're saying.

When I was working on the ViewSupport mixin I felt the current solution 
- a mixin class - wasn't the most beautiful to get the methods and 
properties defined in one placed and used in multiple components.

That's the reason why grok.View itself does not mixin ViewishViewSupport 
to gain application_url(), but defines it itself - would it have mixed 
in ViewishViewSupport as well, the class hierarchy would've been quite 
awful.

Anyway, discussing this with Reinout irl didn't bring us any ideas 
either, and I went with the current solution.

For you ViewSupport in a way does not provide enough, for me it kinda 
does too much - I hardly use static and namespace for example. So a 
better way to plug these features in and out would indeed be great.

(as an aside note, let's not experiment with this for the 1.1 release, 
but yeah, any idea to improve this would be very welcome).
