Hi,

I'd like to be able to pass a Manipulator object into the generic views.
See http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/1563 for the patch.

The proposed change allows a very nice code pattern:

- the view function handles fetching the required data and doing sanity
   checks, creates a manipulator and calls the generic view
- the generic view handles all the ugly http and form processing,
   eventually calling the manipulator
- the manipulator does all the customized field stuff
   (additional/modified fields)

Sometimes this needs to pass special parameters to the initializer of 
the manipulator (e.g., a ChangeManipulator) must prepopulate default 
values dependent on the some other parameter of the view).

The patch is quite small and innocent :-)

Do you need any more arguments?

Michael
