Choosing a View Update Translator by Dialog at View Definition Time

Summary: Translating view updates to base updates is inherently ambiguous; similar views may map to different translations due to real-world semantics. A structured dialog at view-definition time selects a translator using view/schema info and earlier answers, enabling unambiguous view updates with optional runtime checks of side effects.
