1. "Views" is almost the worst name for what it does. ("Puppies"
might be better, but "Records" would be worse.) Too much software
uses "View" to mean a dynamically generated collection of records
matching a SELECT statement. Who decided it should be use for
"Breakpoints"? (OK. It provides a different View of the pipeline,
but "Breakpoint" would be a really obvious name.)
Really obviously wrong, IMHO :-) :-)
"Breakpoint" means, "stop dead in your tracks right here", i.e. freeze
the execution state of something. Concomitant to this is the wakeup of
some out-of-band debugging monitor. Not what a pipeline view does at
all :-)
I didn't invent the term "view" for this, but I've never had any
problem with this nomenclature (and I'm like "Mr. Anal Terminology
Pants"), although I seem to remember that the Cocoon docs for this
feature left a little to be desired :-)
my $.02 anyway :-)
