That's the idea!  In the documentation I throw around the word
"relation" pretty liberally, but you are right that some clarification
would be helpful.

I have added a few parenthetical statements to the docs that should make
them clearer.  I also took your suggestion and added a view regression test.

Both are in patch v9 which I attached to my previous email on this thread.

Thank you for taking the time to have a look.
