Another reason I have for accessing view through the ListView attached
property is getting the view width, since I want some of my delegates to
stretch across the full width of the view, and to do that I have to use
parent.ListView.view.width, thus assuming that the parent is the real
delegate.
It would have been convenient if the view itself was directly accessible in
the delegate and its children, in the same way as the index is, instead of
as an attached property on the delegate.
