// be O(N) changes to the data context of each.
// Alternatively, we can cache mappings between the item and its convertView, and return the corresponding
// view if it exists, and otherwise create and map it. That should be O(1).
// However, the convertView is also used for recycling views when scrolling through long lists...
// So theoretically, as we scroll down, the item's view at the top would end up appearing for an item further down,
// which we wouldn't return, and instead we would create a new one, and the top item's view would lose its reference.
// Best design would probably have a ViewWithDataContext, and then assign DataContext on them.
// We could also support options for keeping all views loaded.
