Technically, its a bit difficult in a cross-platform way to detect
primary or unique constraints that apply to VIEWs (as they don't
really have keys themselves).  But if you happen to know that a
certain field in the VIEW uniquely identifies rows in that view,
there's nothing stopping you from telling DBIC that the VIEW has that
field as a primary key.
