/**
 * We want to avoid commands having to create DOM structures because that's
 * messy and because we're going to need to have command output displayed in
 * different documents. A View is a way to wrap an HTML template (for
 * domtemplate) in with the data and options to render the template, so anyone
 * can later run the template in the context of any document.
 * View also cuts out a chunk of boiler place code.
 * @param options The information needed to create the DOM from HTML. Includes:
 * - html (required): The HTML source, probably from a call to require
 * - options (default={}): The domtemplate options. See domtemplate for details
 * - data (default={}): The data to domtemplate. See domtemplate for details.
 * - css (default=none): Some CSS to be added to the final document. If 'css'
 *   is used, use of cssId is strongly recommended.
 * - cssId (default=none): An ID to prevent multiple CSS additions. See
 *   util.importCss for more details.
 * @return An object containing a single function 'appendTo()' which runs the
 * template adding the result to the specified element. Takes 2 parameters:
 * - element (required): the element to add to
 * - clear (default=false): if clear===true then remove all pre-existing
 *   children of 'element' before appending the results of this template.
