[Maypole] 2.05 bug in Maypole::View::Base?

[Brian Glass]

I just ran into this in a bad way. I upgraded to 2.06 and whamo, a 
number of pages no longer worked for me. I finally tracked it down to 
this 'description' bug. Now I've got 2 lines I have to regularly comment 
out of Maypole::View::Base::vars - 'description' and 'cgi'.

It would be really nice to be able to have column named 'description' 
without having to hack Maypole...
