Oops, sorry -- the default/index.html view that comes with the scaffolding
app includes {{=BEAUTIFY(response._vars)}} when there is no "message" or
"content" variable returned, which is the same thing the generic.html view
does when more than one variable is returned.
Keep in mind that if you want to control the display of your data, you do
need to create customized views. The generic views (including the generic
code built into the default index.html view) can't know exactly how you
would want to display multiple items returned from the controller.
