[development] Views field handler being ignored

[jeff at ayendesigns.com]

Definitely. That occurred to me between the two messages. I might need to reinstall the module, as I changed a file name? Also, does it matter that my test changes the option form text, not the render? Its the form that hasn't changed yet.

What happens when both 'node' and your 'myviews' return $data['node'].
When you look at $data['node'] which do you get?

This is why you must use hook_views_data_alter() to modify tables owned
by other modules rather than hook_views_data(), otherwise you get
undefined results when PHP tries to figure out which one of you wins the
collision.
