+When no `footer` element is specified, the view's standard buttons (like Save or Discard) will be
+present by default. It is also possible to avoid replacing the standard buttons in form or x2many
+dialogs by using the `replace` attribute. This attribute defaults to `True` if not specified but
+setting it to `False` (or 0) will make it so that the specified `footer` will be added next to the
+default buttons instead of replacing them.
