1563	[patch] generic views should accept `manipulator` parameter	mir@…	Jacob	"I'd like to be able to pass a Manipulator object into the generic views. This allows a very nice code pattern:

 * the view function handles fetching the required data and doing sanity checks, creates a manipulator and calls the generic view
 * the generic view handles all the ugly http and form processing, eventually calling the manipulator
 * the manipulator does all the customized field stuff (additional/modified fields)

Sometimes this needs to pass special parameters to the initializer of the manipulator (e.g., a `ChangeManipulator`) must prepopulate default values dependent on the some other parameter of the view).

I think this makes a great general pattern. I'm willing to put something up in the wiki if you're interested."	enhancement	closed	Generic views	magic-removal	normal	wontfix	manipulator	mir@…	Unreviewed	1	0	0	0	0	0
