I don't think a write-on-read solution is acceptable.

For several reasons I think this should be an expression:

- At the moment you can specify any kind of add view name and 
implementation. E.g. you can use a skin method or set an alias.

- The traverser is configured in ZCML and its name can easily be 
changed. I don't think it is a good idea to hardcode assumptions about 
configuration in the type info code.

- Type infos are now also Action objects and should be configured in a 
similar way as normal Actions.

I'm afraid any attempt to make this simpler also makes it less explicit 
and less flexible.
