Inject a `ContextView` for extensions of the extension point. The view can then be listened on events such as `bind`<!-- -->, `unbind`<!-- -->, or `refresh` to react on changes of extensions.

```typescript
function view(extensionPointName?: string, metadata?: InjectionMetadata): (target: Object, member: string | undefined, methodDescriptorOrParameterIndex?: number | TypedPropertyDescriptor<any> | undefined) => void;
```
