So, taking a second stab at this:

Database VIEWs allow application developers to abstract database access,
making application code simpler and version migrations easier.  As such,
PostgreSQL has improved our view support:
* Materialized View declaration
* Auto-updatable VIEWs
* Recursive Views

I think that puts the new features more strongly, and also explains how
views relate to the reader.  Yes?
