That was one of my first annoyances, when arriving as a total newcomer to
the world of Z3. After asking a few of the smart guys, who said it is not
possible to set this the way I wanted, I came up with a workaround of
using a view class that overwrites __call__ and throws an exception from
it. I'm using this since then but I don't like workarounds (not that
it'd be such a bad one).

IMO it would be great to solve this properly, because one point of
using views is to have a fine control over what to publish and what not.
And this is a bit broken at this point, currently.
