Re: Views

view should be replaced everywhere by implicit def.
added use of <%: what if the view is the identity?

Referring to "A Tour of the Scala Programming Language" page 46, I get
the impression that 'Views' are a concept that is implemented with
implicit defs and implicit parameters. I also get the impression that
the special syntax (<%) is nothing more than syntactic sugar and
provides no additional benefit to the code with the implicit parameter.

Is this correct? If not, what additional value is a 'View' besides a
concept? What additional benefit do you get from using the <% syntax?
