Views/Rendering Variable Issues?

Since this goes against the way people are used to using it, this might be a good prospect for a config setting, too...

I was "lectured" on this forum and in PM about this issue. I was urging that it stay the same. But since then my attitude has changed. Its just templates - not every view file - and its very quick to add those few lines of code to some templates. I think every decision about CI 4 should be based on: "is this the best way to build a modern PHP 7 framework?"
