I've found that I can't create a view with a key that includes a

I confused myself with that opening statement so here's an example
of what I'm talking about:

I understand if this is the way it's supposed to work. I also
understand that I can use an if statement to check if the key exists
in the document. However, that means that if I change the schema of
future documents and I've written a previous view that doesn't check
for all of it's keys, those previous views cease to function.
I thought that a large advantage of document databases is the
ability to change the schema of your documents and not cause
problems. Is this not the case, or am I thinking of this incorrectly?
What CouchDB version are you using? I think you're running into a bug
in the JS view server that was fixed in trunk sometime after the 0.7.2
release.
