You're not the first person to think that ALTER VIEW covers everything
that can be done to a view.

I'm starting to think that we should just make ALTER VIEW be an alias
for ALTER TABLE (rather than a separate node type as now), and then list
in the ALTER VIEW reference page all of the ALTER TABLE variants that
will work on views.
