The third argument to the ActionView::Base is an actual instance of a
controller. You need it to do stuff like url_for and link_to in ActionView.
The way Rails works is to render templates (both Haml and ERB) in an
ActionView instance, giving you access to all the handy helpers. You
could do it in a model like User, but then you wouldn't have access to
the helpers but would instead have access to the User's variables, which
would be weird.
