object X {
  def f(x: Int): Int = 1
}

object Y {
  def f(x: Int): String = "a"
}

import X._
import Y._

val x: Int = f(1)
val y: String = f(1)

Ok, I understand this. The trade off is between doing
viewSomeKindOfOptions
vs
SomeKindOfOptionsObject.getView()
The verbiage is nearly equal while the upper one requires more complicated imports which may or may not trip up some programmers.
I don't know that there is a compelling way of settling this.
I'd also throw out that the view method could be more explicitly named as in getFirrtlOptions, it's not as though we are passing things around in way that some other method might take the view type as a parameter (I think).
My two cents
