 * @{
 * Overview of the Views module API
 *
 * The Views module is a generalized query and display engine, which can be used
 * to make views (formatted lists, grids, feeds, and other output) of items
 * (often entities, but can be other types of data). Developers can interact
 * with Views in several ways:
 * - Provide plugins: Views plugins govern nearly every aspect of views,
 *   including querying (sorting, filtering, etc.) and display (at several
 *   levels of granularity, ranging from the entire view to the details of a
 *   field). See the @link views_plugins Views plugins topic @endlink for
 *   more information.
 * - Provide data: Data types can be provided to Views by implementing
 *   hook_views_data(), and data types provided by other modules can be
 *   altered by implementing hook_views_data_alter().
 * - Implement hooks: A few operations in Views can be influenced by hooks.
 *   See the @link Views hooks topic @endlink for a list.
 * - Theming: See the @link views_templates Views templates topic @endlink
 *   for more information.

/**

 *
 * Some Views plugins are known as handlers. Handler plugins help build the
