Nested View
Two nested views built and torn down on demand, and a frontend action aimed at one of them by its slot - the view parameter of follow_up_action.

" @keywords nested view destroy nest_view_destroy nest2_view_destroy slot scope cs_view nested nested2 control_by_id focus
" @summary Two nested views built and torn down on demand, and a frontend action aimed at one of them by its slot - the view parameter of follow_up_action.
"! Two containers on the main page, one nested view each. nest_view_display
"! puts a view INTO a container, nest_view_destroy takes it out again and
"! leaves the container - the same for the second slot with nest2_*.
"!
"! A control_by_id action resolves an id across every open view by default
"! (cs_view-main). The view parameter of follow_up_action scopes the lookup
"! to ONE slot - cs_view-nested or cs_view-nested2 - so the focus is looked
"! for in the view the app meant and nowhere else: a slot that is not open
"! answers with nothing instead of the first match somewhere else.
