--- BEGIN ISSUE ---
deprecate CompositionView ? 
Currently sanic offers a class called `CompositionView`

I really am struggling to find any utility in this class, since 

```python
from sanic.views import CompositionView

def get_handler(request):
    return text("I am a get method")

view = CompositionView()
view.add(["GET"], get_handler)
view.add(["POST", "PUT"], lambda request: text("I am a post/put method"))

# Use the new view to handle requests to the base URL
app.add_route(view, "/")
```


Seems much more confusing to me than

```python
def get_handler(request):
    return text("I am a get method")

app.route("/", methods=["GET"])(get_handler)
app.route("/", methods=["POST", "PUT"])(lambda request: text("I am a post/put method"))
```

Can anyone offer a compelling use case for CompositionView?

If not, I would suggest to deprecate it
