I'm torn between JMIW (Just Make It Work), and the silly user slap
intrinsic (Exception! You forgot to ask for anything you silly sod!).
View is the odd sub out compared to model/controller...


For the JMIW camp:

	$c->view('') / $c->view(undef)

	return the first view if there is only 1 view
	return the TT view if there are 2+ views, and one is TT



	$c->model('') / $c->model(undef)
	return nothing/undef/throw exception


	$c->controller('') / $c->controller(undef)
	return nothing/undef/throw exception
