Interesting (and well written) summary. Even if not a "built in" feature, I'm 
sure that plenty of people will find this useful. Make sure it gets linked to 
from techdocs.

If you could identify candidate keys on a view, you could conceivably automate 
the process even more. That's got to be possible in some cases, but I'm not 
sure how difficult it is to do in all cases.
