I haven't used this blender multiview branch and have only skimmed over
this thread briefly, but it seems to me that it works in a similar way to
nuke. In nuke, you can set up as many views as you like, and by default,
nodes will apply the same processing to the multiple views in an input
stream.

It's possible to split off individual views into individual data streams,
process them independently, and then join them back into the one stream if
you like, and it's also possible to split individual parameters on nodes so
you can apply different parameter values to different views. In general
though, you're passing all views down your comp network together as a
single data stream. There are also additional nodes that specifically deal
with multiview inputs, for example nodes to change convergence.
