My intention was to make API names more consistent. If you are addressing View
specific option, it is good to address it via View[Something] macros or
function. Relations[Something] seems to be a bad name, since we are dealing
not with any relation in general, but with a view relation.

This is internal API, right? If we change it everywhere, then it is changed
and nothing will be broken?

May be it may lead to problems I am unable to see, but I still unable to see
them so I can't make any judgment about it.

If you insist (you have much more experience than I) I would do as you advise,
but still I do not understand.
