+ One-off queries (eg. views you don't want to save in the CouchDB database) can be done via
the special view ''_temp_view''. Ad-hoc views are only good during development. Final code
should not rely on them as they are very expensive to compute each time they get called and
they get increasingly slower the more data you have in a database. If you think you can't
solve something in a permanent view that you can solve in an ad-hoc view, you might want to
reconsider. (TODO: add typical examples and solutions).
