Description

To simplify the naming of functions, let's make the following changes: * getView(id) --> stays the same, returns underlying view by id * getUIRoot() --> getView() (no parameters) * getUIRoots() --> getViews()

Arthur says the getView(), getViews(), getView(id) seem clear and gives the go ahead

In retrospect, getUIRoot() and getUIRoots() should stay as they represent an array of all top-level views, which is different from getView(), which has access to all views, not just top-level. The interface for these interactions should be like this: * *getView(id)* - Return any view contained in the controller by id. If no id is given, return the first top-level view (just like getUIRoot). * *getUIRoot* - Return the first top-level view. * *getUIRoots* - Return an array of all top-level views

Final interface: * *getView(id)* - Return any view contained in the controller by id. If no id is given, return the first top-level view. * *getViews()* - Return an object containing all views from the view hierarchy, keyed by their id. * *getTopLevelViews()* - Return an array of all top-level views
