For what it's worth I'd be against this proposal as it stands. * I haven't seen anything anything that convinces me that a single wrapping view isn't a reasonable alternative in the examples cited. * A `UrlNotMatched` exception sounds like the potential source of incredibly non-obvious bugs and surprising behavior. * Allow a single HTTP call to end up calling into multiple views just seems like it would a fundamentally bad design decision.
I really don't see the trade-off of allowing this type of behavior to be worth the cost of breaking the current mental model of what a view is and does.
