/**
* Basic interface for views.
* The name sound weirder than it is: Views define special get and exists operations for fields that are not
* directly available in a resultset, but exist under another name or can be accessed by loading an additional object
* during runtime.
*
* @see Icinga\Backend\DataView\ObjectRemappingView For an implementation of mapping field names
* to storage specific names, e.g. service_state being status.current_state in status.dat views.
*
* @see Icinga\Backend\MonitoringObjectList For the typical usage of this class. It is not wrapped
* around the monitoring object, so we don't use __get() or __set() and always have to give the item we'd like to access.
