I'm not sure what you mean. We already have this. A form is a view composed
of many smaller views.

No, a multiview is a vew on many objects simultaneously.  It should be
viewed when a presention really depends on multiple objecst simultaneously.
Without this, you have to multiply dispatch among multiple views.

Not really. While absolute_url might be given a provided interface, it's
still helpful for it to have a name so that it can be named in paths.
