I think this would improve things, and thanks for bringing this up.

There's one major problem that I see. What's the backwards compatibility 
story? I'm sure there are a lot of cases in lots of code where people 
look up views with a getMultiAdapter, and if we started registering 
views differently, wouldn't that code break? How to we get from A to B?
