FYI, I think bytecode compiling yields a significant performance
improvement, particularly for views, so foregoing bytecode for views could
be a bit of a sacrifice. I'm not sure if there's another solution (other
than creating separate desktop and mobile views for individual actions,
which would then extend different layouts).
