/**
 * Helper function for getting data selection based entity Views table definitions.
 *
 * This creates extra tables for each entity type that are not associated with a
 * query plugin (and thus are not base tables) and just rely on the entities to
 * retrieve the displayed data. To obtain the entities corresponding to a
 * certain result set, the field handlers defined on the table use a generic
 * interface defined for query plugins that are based on entity handling, and
 * which is described in the entity_views_example_query class.
 *
 * These tables are called "data selection tables".
 *
 * Other modules providing Views integration with new query plugins that are
 * based on entities can then use these tables as a base for their own tables
 * (by directly using this method and modifying the returned table) and/or by
 * specifying relationships to them. The tables returned here already specify
 * relationships to each other wherever an entity contains a reference to
 * another (e.g., the node author constructs a relationship from nodes to
 * users).
 *
 * As filtering and other query manipulation is potentially more plugin-specific
 * than the display, only field handlers and relationships are provided with
 * these tables. By providing a add_selector_orderby() method, the query plugin
 * can, however, support click-sorting for the field handlers in these tables.
 *
 * For a detailed discussion see http://drupal.org/node/1266036
 *
 * For example use see the Search API views module in the Search API project:
 * http://drupal.org/project/search_api
 *
 * @param $type
 *   The entity type whose table definition should be returned.
 * @param $exclude
 *   Whether properties already exposed as 'entity views field' should be

 *   the entity type anyways.
 *
 * @return array
 *   An array containing the data selection Views table definition for the
 *   entity type.
