153 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
154 throw warnings for two reasons:
155 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
156 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance
158 2) you call a component resolution method with a string, and it resorts to a regexp
159 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
160 method with a regex as the argument
