I'd like a Viewer system, like the Translation Kit, but that provides
views for an arbitrary data type. IMHO, this is what replicants were
supposed to be. This way, I could say new Viewer("/boot/home/foo.mp3"),
and it would put in a MediaView (Something else sorely lacking now). If
it was new Viewer("/boot/home/foo.html"), an HTML display. etc, etc
