The challenge here is that we're working with the whole `BaseView()` v.s. `TableView()` abstraction, which I've been wanting to get rid of for a long time. `BaseView()` calls `.data()` and expects to get back a `(data, extra_template_data, templates)` tuple - then if a format is in play (`.json` or `.geojson` or similar from a plugin) it hands off `data` to that. If `.csv` is involved it does something special, in order to support streaming responses. And if it's regular HTML it calls `await extra_template_data()` and combines that with `data` and passes it to the template. I want this to work completely differently: I want the formats (including HTML) to have the option of adding some extra `?_extra=` extras, then I want HTML to be able to render the page entirely from the JSON if necessary.	{ "total_count": 0, "+1": 0, "-1": 0, "laugh": 0, "hooray": 0, "confused": 0, "heart": 0, "rocket": 0, "eyes": 0 }	323658641
