It would be nice to be able to let DataController clients add variables to
the dict returned by its methods before rendering.
For example, the user can already override the template used for the
DataController, but there's no way to provide additional variables for use
by those templates (short of view.variable_providers, which is site-wide
and not easily updatable per-page).
As a first attempt, I tried deriving from DataController, and for each
exposed method, calling super(X,self).methodname and adding to the return
value, but the expose() decorator in DataController has already rendered
the template by the time the child class gets it.
It appears that the only way to do this right now is to derive from
DataController, overload each method, copy each method body into the
derived method, and add the variables there.
