I'm pretty sure everything was added to the hash -- when the view is
created, I immediately create the hash afterward and then bind my only
reference to it from python to the hashed version.

If this would represent a bug we might be able to track down and fix,
I can try to whip up a quick test-case that reproduces the behavior
and ensures that

Ah, good to know. I think I may want to get out of the hashed view
business altogether then.
