Marionette: Simple Text Views For Regions

Layout views in Marionette are great, and I think they should be used wherever possible. Any given page should be divided into regions — it's just a good habit to have. There are times when regions are a pain, however, because all you want to render is some simple text. Most of the time, regions will show more complex views that do a fair amount of work. They have templates, they have a model or collection as context, and so on. The challenge is being able to swap out something complex with something simple.
