Would it not be generically useful to be able to hide fields from the
t2-generated view tables/edit forms?
I have a desire to do this in another area of my app too.

I have a table 'gis_layer' which needs many different attributes, but
not all are relevant to all gis_layer.type's
I looked at 1st at separating out the fields which are only relevant
to specific type's (linked by a layer_id foreign key), but I ended up
with many separate linked tables & trying to get a whole layer viewed/
edited in 1 place was proving very hard as was ensuring there was
referential integrity. (I tried Left Joins)
It also appears to break the idea that each entity should exist in a
single table.
Suggestions on how best to approach this issue also welcomed :)
