We should explain here that you can't obtain the related view after the creation, or is the gtk-doc note for a write-only, consctruct-only property enough, you think (I don't recall seeing one)?

I assumed that being writable/construct only property and the lack of public getter was clear enough, but I'll add a comment in the docs.
