Hi, I've created an interface for _list functions based on the _view code. Please have a look, the code is at GitHub [0].
In case you don't want to clone it with git, you can also download the share/wwww folder and unpack it over your current source. Click on the download button at the top [1]. The reason why I post it at the dev list and not on the users one is that it is not well tested, it's just a first rough cut. What are the next steps? Is such an interface desired? Please don't tell me "Create an JIRA issue and attach a patch". I'm pretty sure this patch won't be applied as-is anyway.
