Ability to avoid view path repetition in pages.xml
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-1858
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1858
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
            Reporter: Matt Drees
            Priority: Minor


It would be fantastic if instead of this:

<page view-id="/admin/modules/additionalExpenses/registrantTypeSettings.xhtml">
   <navigation from-action="#{additionalExpensesAdminManager.newExpense}">
      <redirect view-id="/admin/modules/additionalExpenses/editExpense.xhtml"/>
   </navigation>
   <navigation from-action="#{additionalExpensesAdminManager.newSectionHeader}">
      <redirect view-id="/admin/modules/additionalExpenses/editSectionHeader.xhtml"/>
   </navigation>
</page>


I could do this:

<pages view-scope="/admin/modules/additionalExpenses/">

   <page view-id="registrantTypeSettings.xhtml">
      <navigation from-action="#{additionalExpensesAdminManager.newExpense}">
         <redirect view-id="editExpense.xhtml"/>
      </navigation>
      <navigation from-action="#{additionalExpensesAdminManager.newSectionHeader}">
         <redirect view-id="editSectionHeader.xhtml"/>
      </navigation>
   </page>

</pages>

It would be best if <pages> could be nested in other <pages>, but there are probably some other ramifications of that, so maybe it'd be better to introduce another element.  Maybe <view-scope> or something.
