There's also the issue with backup/restore: we need some kind of syntax 
for restoring a read-only view which doesn't depend on command ordering.  So we need a ALTER VIEW SET READ ONLY or
similar.

Overall, I'm starting to think there's a lot of syntax and issues that 
need to be worked out, and I'm thinking it's too late in the cycle to do 
that for 8.4.
