Changing Views
One of the real strengths of MetaKit is that you can easily restructure data that you've already stored in a data file. This is particularly handy given the natural evolution of most programs, where requirements might change over time.
To restructure a view, you simply open an existing data file, and issue a new "mk::view layout" command that reflects the new structure you'd like the view to have. If you specify new properties in the original view, they will be added (with a default value, such as the empty string, assigned). If you remove properties, they will be removed from the view in the data file.
