Yep, plus you can set config(action => { 'name' => { ViewPort =>  
{ ... } } }) to alter the arguments passed through - ActionForm only  
searches the build_fields_for_type stuff if it isn't given explicit  
info on what to do.

As for a controller that limits visible attributes, are you wanting  
to do this for the listview or globally?
