What about a "View" entry with "Source Code", "Desktop version", "Mobile
version", "Printable version" as its submenus?

We could also hide the current view from the list since it would be a link
to the current page which is probably bad according to some guidelines. So
when in Desktop version mode you would see only mobile, print & source code.
