Detailed Description

This many to one helper object is used on both arguments and filters.

Todo:
This requires extensive documentation on how this class is to be used. For now, look at the arguments and filters that use it. Lots of stuff is just pass-through but there are definitely some interesting areas where they interact.

Any handler that uses this can have the following possibly additional definition terms:

views_many_to_one_helper::add_table ( join = NULL,
alias = NULL 
)

Add a table to the query.

This is an advanced concept; not only does it add a new instance of the table, but it follows the relationship path all the way down to the relationship link point and adds *that* as a new relationship and then adds the table to the relationship, if necessary.

views_many_to_one_helper::ensure_my_table (  ) 

Override ensure_my_table so we can control how this joins in.

The operator actually has influence over joining.

views_many_to_one_helper::get_field (  ) 

Sometimes the handler might want us to use some kind of formula, so give it that option.

If it wants us to do this, it must set $helper->formula = TRUE and implement handler->get_formula();

Provide the proper join for summary queries.

This is important in part because it will cooperate with other arguments if possible.
