A <code>view</code> says what a template may read (its fields, each an expression) and what it may do (its queries and its <code>on</code> events), and nothing else crosses. The compiler writes <code>view_name()</code>, whose model is a value object of every field and whose call runs a query or an event by name.

```ludic
# doc-check: skip — the functions it names are elsewhere
view Yard {
  spots: int = yard_spots()
  on buy(hf: int) { yard_buy(hf) }
}
```
