This sounds a lot like a view. It sometimes seems like it would be nicer if we exposed views rather than our internal API. For example, lazr.restful cannot support IBranch.addLandingTarget's parameters, so I had to create (I)Branch._createMergeProposal and expose it over the API as createMergeProposal. I think that sort of thing would be clearer as a method on a view that just munged the parameters and called the original method.
