Views could get an 'array' for each 'path' in the documents.
Something like
function(path, val)
{
if( path[0] == 'pizzas' && path.length == 2)
map( path[1], val );
}
Although there is not a flat collection of documents, but rather a
tree of data, that doesn't mean that tree-nodes have no identitty.
Since a map consists of keys van values. The path of keys is the
unique identifer for the associated data.
