=item add_columns

  __PACKAGE__->add_columns(qw/col1 col2 col3/);

Adds columns to the current package, and creates accessors for them

=cut

  __PACKAGE__->table('tbl_name');

=cut

sub table {

=item find_or_create

  $class->find_or_create({ key => $val, ... });

Searches for a record matching the search condition; if it doesn't find one,
creates one and returns that instead
