+ * Register an admin page with the admin panel.

+ * This view should provide a description and either a control or a link to.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ * - To add a control to the main admin panel then extend admin/main
+ * - To add a control to a new page create a page which renders a view admin/subpage
+ * (where subpage is your new page -
+ * nb. some pages already exist that you can extend), extend the main view to point to it,
+ * and add controls to your new view.
+ *
+ * At the moment this is essentially a wrapper around elgg_extend_view().
+ *
+ * @param string $new_admin_view The view associated with the control you're adding
+ * @param string $view The view to extend, by default this is 'admin/main'.
+ * @param int $priority Optional priority to govern the appearance in the list.
