      # <tt>:primary_key</tt>, <tt>:string</tt>, <tt>:text</tt>,
      # <tt>:integer</tt>, <tt>:float</tt>, <tt>:decimal</tt>,
      # <tt>:datetime</tt>, <tt>:timestamp</tt>, <tt>:time</tt>,
      # <tt>:date</tt>, <tt>:binary</tt>, <tt>:boolean</tt>.
      #
      # You may use a type not in this list as long as it is supported by your
      # database (for example, "polygon" in MySQL), but this will not be database
      # agnostic and should usually be avoided.
      #
      # Available options are (none of these exists by default):
      # * <tt>:limit</tt> -
      #   Requests a maximum column length. This is number of characters for <tt>:string</tt> and <tt>:text</tt> columns and number of bytes for :binary and :integer columns.
      # * <tt>:default</tt> -
      #   The column's default value. Use nil for NULL.
      # * <tt>:null</tt> -
      #   Allows or disallows +NULL+ values in the column. This option could
      #   have been named <tt>:null_allowed</tt>.
      # * <tt>:precision</tt> -
      #   Specifies the precision for a <tt>:decimal</tt> column.
      # * <tt>:scale</tt> -
      #   Specifies the scale for a <tt>:decimal</tt> column.
      #
      # For clarity's sake: the precision is the number of significant digits,
      # while the scale is the number of digits that can be stored following
      # the decimal point. For example, the number 123.45 has a precision of 5
      # and a scale of 2. A decimal with a precision of 5 and a scale of 2 can
      # range from -999.99 to 999.99.
      #
      # Please be aware of different RDBMS implementations behavior with
      # <tt>:decimal</tt> columns:
      # * The SQL standard says the default scale should be 0, <tt>:scale</tt> <=
      #   <tt>:precision</tt>, and makes no comments about the requirements of
      #   <tt>:precision</tt>.
      # * MySQL: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..63], <tt>:scale</tt> [0..30].
      #   Default is (10,0).
      # * PostgreSQL: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..infinity],
      #   <tt>:scale</tt> [0..infinity]. No default.
      # * SQLite2: Any <tt>:precision</tt> and <tt>:scale</tt> may be used.
      #   Internal storage as strings. No default.
      # * SQLite3: No restrictions on <tt>:precision</tt> and <tt>:scale</tt>,
      #   but the maximum supported <tt>:precision</tt> is 16. No default.
      # * Oracle: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..38], <tt>:scale</tt> [-84..127].
      #   Default is (38,0).
      # * DB2: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..63], <tt>:scale</tt> [0..62].
      #   Default unknown.
      # * Firebird: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..18], <tt>:scale</tt> [0..18].
      #   Default (9,0). Internal types NUMERIC and DECIMAL have different
      #   storage rules, decimal being better.
      # * FrontBase?: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..38], <tt>:scale</tt> [0..38].
      #   Default (38,0). WARNING Max <tt>:precision</tt>/<tt>:scale</tt> for
      #   NUMERIC is 19, and DECIMAL is 38.
      # * SqlServer?: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..38], <tt>:scale</tt> [0..38].
      #   Default (38,0).
      # * Sybase: <tt>:precision</tt> [1..38], <tt>:scale</tt> [0..38].

      # == Examples
      #  # Assuming td is an instance of TableDefinition
      #  td.column(:granted, :boolean)
      #  # granted BOOLEAN
      #
      #  td.column(:picture, :binary, :limit => 2.megabytes)
      #  # => picture BLOB(2097152)
      #
      #  td.column(:sales_stage, :string, :limit => 20, :default => 'new', :null => false)
      #  # => sales_stage VARCHAR(20) DEFAULT 'new' NOT NULL
      #
      #  td.column(:bill_gates_money, :decimal, :precision => 15, :scale => 2)
      #  # => bill_gates_money DECIMAL(15,2)
      #
      #  td.column(:sensor_reading, :decimal, :precision => 30, :scale => 20)
      #  # => sensor_reading DECIMAL(30,20)
      #
      #  # While <tt>:scale</tt> defaults to zero on most databases, it
      #  # probably wouldn't hurt to include it.
      #  td.column(:huge_integer, :decimal, :precision => 30)
      #  # => huge_integer DECIMAL(30)
      #
      #  # Defines a column with a database-specific type.
      #  td.column(:foo, 'polygon')
      #  # => foo polygon
      #
      # == Short-hand examples
      #
      # Instead of calling +column+ directly, you can also work with the short-hand definitions for the default types.
      # They use the type as the method name instead of as a parameter and allow for multiple columns to be defined
      # in a single statement.
      #
      # What can be written like this with the regular calls to column:
      #
      #   create_table "products", :force => true do |t|
      #     t.column "shop_id",    :integer
      #     t.column "creator_id", :integer
      #     t.column "name",       :string,   :default => "Untitled"
      #     t.column "value",      :string,   :default => "Untitled"
      #     t.column "created_at", :datetime
      #     t.column "updated_at", :datetime
      #   end
      #
      # Can also be written as follows using the short-hand:
      #
      #   create_table :products do |t|
      #     t.integer :shop_id, :creator_id
      #     t.string  :name, :value, :default => "Untitled"
      #     t.timestamps
      #   end
      #
      # There's a short-hand method for each of the type values declared at the top. And then there's
      # TableDefinition#timestamps that'll add created_at and +updated_at+ as datetimes.
      #
      # TableDefinition#references will add an appropriately-named _id column, plus a corresponding _type
      # column if the <tt>:polymorphic</tt> option is supplied. If <tt>:polymorphic</tt> is a hash of options, these will be
      # used when creating the <tt>_type</tt> column. So what can be written like this:
      #
      #   create_table :taggings do |t|
      #     t.integer :tag_id, :tagger_id, :taggable_id
      #     t.string  :tagger_type
      #     t.string  :taggable_type, :default => 'Photo'
      #   end
      #
      # Can also be written as follows using references:
      #
      #   create_table :taggings do |t|
      #     t.references :tag
      #     t.references :tagger, :polymorphic => true
