Computed field is very usefull for execute php code every time the node content is displayed, without database storage, but in this case it can't be integrated in views.

I think it's a great limit for Computed Field.

I definitely see where this could be useful, but because of the way views work it seems like it would be difficult to add a column without storing the data in the database.

Maybe there should be a views module called something like "computed column" providing this functionality.

I _think_ this might be possible even without db storage.
You might want to investigate 'notafield' setting, and custom field_handler and field_query_handler callbacks.
