   Bubbling up some thoughts from an irc discussion about this with @wohali, @rnewson, and myself. It's worth noting that we already support the multi-queries approach in the `_view` API, so the functionality reverted in PR#1143 was actually consistent with existing API precedent. If folks feel strongly enough about separating out the multi query logic into dedicated API endpoints, I think it makes sense to do the same for views as well for consistency.
   
   @rnewson pointed out an alternative option would be to use the `Content-Type` response header to declare the response body format. This would provide a deterministic way for static languages to understand the response body by what's declared in the headers. It could be ` x-vnd.couchdb.view vs x-vnd.couchdb.multi-query` or whatever.
