Yep - the QD3D model is really that rendering happens "to a view", where
that view has a single camera (where to draw from), draw context (where
to draw to), and renderer (what to draw with).

Is there a situation you're thinking of where you would like to have
multiple renderers attached at once? (executing in series I could see,
in parallel I'm not sure how it would work)
