I am trying to optimize some of my search strategies and one way to do this
involves creating a product of two or more views that have the same
description.  In this case, view.product() just creates the union.  Not
surprising.  It's not actually a product, but what's it supposed to do? :-)

The obvious way around this is to apply "isomorphic" but non-identical
descriptions to the views and then apply view.product() to the results.  Is
there a quick way of creating a derived view that differs only in the
property names?

Currently I have a loop that just calls view.rename() for each property
(apparently creating a new view each time), and this seems rather
inefficient.  Or is it not inefficient?

Or is there a better way to do this?
