Well, fact: Nobody has taken the time to design the view framework so 
that it can be tested sanely. If you're so serious about this, someone 
should delete the whole gzz.view hierarchy right now and we should 
re-write it, test first. (It is allowed to delete anything that won't 
break tests, by your reasoning, so you wouldn't even have to write a PEG.)

It may be more sensible to actually make a plan how we can get the 
currently untested parts of the code in tested form. Scrapping gzz.view 
doesn't sound like a good thing to do so soon before the paper deadlines 
(deadlines aren't an excuse for writing untested code, but they *are* an 
excuse [reason, actually] for not starting new projects of unknown 
scope-- like gzz.view rewrites).
