  # A delegator with an ActionView context. 
  # You can access the ActionView context at _h , to call Rails helper
  # methods (framework or app specific, whatever should be avail at
  # given context)
  #
  # inside a method in a decorator, `_h.content_tag` or `_h.html_escape`
  # or `_h.url_for` etc.   
  #
  #   (Except you can't call html_escape that way becuase Rails makes it
  #   private for some reason, wtf. We provide an html_escape) 
  # 
  # Inside a decorator, access #_base to get undecorated base model.
