Theme-based views in Laravel using vendor namespaces

At Spatie, we're building a multi-tenant app. Seb figured out a great way to handle theme based views.

Laravel allows you register a view vendor namespace which points to a specific directory containing Blade files. This feature is intended for package development, but it's a perfect solution to our problem.
