Description

From the spec:

If the potential conflict involves instruments that can be distinguished by a supported View selector (e.g., instrument type) a View recipe SHOULD be printed advising the user how to avoid the warning by renaming one of the conflicting instruments.

I don't know exactly what a "view recipe" is. I imagine is a set of arguments for the parameters of a View constructor.
