Details
The loaded entity metadata is merged with any existing data and the view
is optionally updated to reflect the change. The new set of columns may be
appended to the end or inserted just after the "ID" column.Metadata for multiple entity types may be added simultaneously,
if ent_types is a vector with the same number of elements as the
number of rows in ent_info and specifies the type of the entity
described by each row.
