I think the correct term for this kind of thing is a "virtual table".
A virtual table is a base table that is generated on the fly from non-
relational data.
I think of a view, on the other hand, as a way of looking at base
tables. So I think view would be incorrect.
I recommend: plugin::InfoSchemaTable -> plugin:: InfoSchemaVirTab
or InfoSchemaVirtualTable, if you don't mind long names.

INFORMATION_SCHEMA objects aren't tables, they are views, as they
are only read-only materializations of data stored in other places
(hash_map<>s, other real tables, HASHs, etc)
Thoughts?
