 * Then, the [[ViewService]] finds any matching `ui-view`(s) in the DOM, and supplies the ui-view

 *
 * A `ViewConfig` if matched with a `ui-view` by finding all `ui-view`s which were created in the
 * context named by the `uiViewContextAnchor`, and finding the `ui-view` or child `ui-view` that matches
 * the `uiViewName` address.
