Description
I think a derive macro for the view trait, especially on enums, would really benefit ergonomics.
Views that return multiple types on a condition, such as an if block or match statement, could instead return an enum with View derived.
For example, for conditional views we could return a custom enum like:
#[derive(View)]
enum UserForm {
Login(LoginView),
SignUp(SignUpView)
}

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing View trait and any current derive-macro support. Define how derived View implementations should handle enums and nested structs, and consider the conditional-view examples in the issue; done means the design and supported cases are agreed and implemented with coverage for those cases.
