        #  
        #     # view with compound sort-keys
        #     # query with Post.by_user_id_and_date
        #     view_by :user_id, :date
        #  
        #     # view with custom map/reduce functions
        #     # query with Post.by_tags :reduce => true
        #     view_by :tags,

        # <tt>view_by :date</tt> will create a view defined by this Javascript
        # function:
        #  
        #   function(doc) {
        #     if (doc['model'] == 'Post' && doc.date) {
        #       emit(doc.date, null);
        #     }
        #   }
        #  
        # It can be queried by calling <tt>Post.by_date</tt> which accepts all
        # valid options for CouchRest::Database#view. In addition, calling with
        # the <tt>:raw => true</tt> option will return the view rows
        # themselves. By default <tt>Post.by_date</tt> will return the
        # documents included in the generated view.
        #  
        # Calling with :database => [instance of CouchRest::Database] will
        # send the query to a specific database, otherwise it will go to
        # the model's default database (use_database)
        #  
        # CouchRest::Database#view options can be applied at view definition
        # time as defaults, and they will be curried and used at view query
        # time. Or they can be overridden at query time.
        #  
        # Custom views can be queried with <tt>:reduce => true</tt> to return
        # reduce results. The default for custom views is to query with
        # <tt>:reduce => false</tt>.
        #  
        # Views are generated (on a per-model basis) lazily on first-access.
        # This means that if you are deploying changes to a view, the views for
        # that model won't be available until generation is complete. This can
        # take some time with large databases. Strategies are in the works.
        #  
        # To understand the capabilities of this view system more completely,
        # it is recommended that you read the RSpec file at
        # <tt>spec/couchrest/more/extended_doc_spec.rb</tt>.
