(all of course with backwards compatibility imports)

+1 to doing this in 1.1.

Are you talking about the view directive or grok.View? We have a lot of 
work done on trunk of grokcore.view concerning the new Martian. We have 
*more* work (and tests) done on the 'shared_templates_userwarning' 
branch of grokcore.view that also affects the entire design of the 
template registry (having only a single global registry).
