Um, okay.  But why?  Your commit just added an extra line to every place
in the codebase which created a Perspective, without making that code
any more expressive.  If Perspectives in fact only exist to provide a
perspective to a specific service, in what situation would you create
Perspectives without having a Service to pass to the constructor?

Even given the existance of such situations, Service.createPerspective
is decidedly *not* one of them.  Why does a Perspective returned from
a Service method -- which has been added to the Service's list of
perspectives -- not have its service attribute set?
