Doh, "view".  If we get rid of "resource".

So then we have getView and queryView, but we allow views of no objects
and drop the whole resource term.  The problem with this is that we'd have to
go through some extra deprecation hacks to gracefully migrate from old to new
getView/queryView signatures.

So, I propose we use the term "view" and let it encompass the things formerly
known as resources.
