ASP.net MVC get current viewengine

Is it possible to get the currently used ViewEngine from the ControllerContext or the ViewEngineCollection? I would like to be able to do say the following ViewEngines.GetCurrent. I know that I can make an extension for that method but I have no idea on how to implement this.

You can use ViewEngineCollection to look up the ViewEngine associated with a particular view.

ViewEngineResult result = ViewEngines.Engines.FindView(controllerContext,
                                                       "myView","myMaster");
IViewEngine viewEngine = result.ViewEngine;
