253 - Refactored component resolution (component(), models(), model(), et al). We now
254 throw warnings for two reasons:
255 1) model() or view() was called with no arguments, and two results are returned
256 -- set default_(model|view), current_(model|view) or current_(model|view)_instance

259 fallback wherein a result is returned -- if you really want to search, call the
260 method with a regex as the argument
