Comment (by jacob):
Sounds like a good idea to me. I'd think Russ's second suggestion
(`get_context_data` returning some sort of proxy object) is a bit too
complex, but I do like having the view object be available as `{{ view }}`
in the template.
If anyone wants to work up a patch, one important part not to miss is a
careful audit of all view methods for ones with side-effects; those should
be marked as `alters_data`
(https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#s-rendering-a-context).
