* $return['error'] = 'Error message'
*
* @since 1.6.0
*
* @note overriding default Views settings and layout settings must provide complete data when the element is an array, because it overrides them all.
* For example, $args['settings']['pagination'] can not override just the "postsper page" options: it must provide a complete pagination implementation.
* This might change and be corrected in the future, keeping backwards compatibility.
*
* @todo once we create a default layout for a View, we need to make sure that:
* - the _view_loop_template postmeta is created and updated - DONE
* - the fields added to that loop Template are stored in the layout settings - PENDING
* - check how Layouts can apply this all to their Views, to create a Bootstrap loop by default - PENDING
*
* @deprecated Since 1.10. Consider using WPV_View::create() or WPV_WordPress_Archive::create() instead.
