I was unable to make this do what I want. The code below chops my
default collection, which is not what I want to do. Here's my data
relationship. I have five types of objects: Family, Person, Marriage,
Birth, Death. A Family has a Marriage member and Person contains the
other three (Family, Birth, Death). I want to limit my tabular view to
objects of type Person and still have my facets work for that view and
all the other views. (The other views all show all object types.)
