DBIx::Class::Table - Table object

=head1 SYNOPSIS

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class is responsible for defining and doing table-level operations on 
L<DBIx::Class> classes.

=head1 METHODS

  my ($class, $attrs) = @_;

  my $new = bless({ %{$attrs || {}} }, $class);

*add_column = \&add_columns;

=head2 add_columns

  $table->add_columns(qw/col1 col2 col3/);

  $table->add_columns('col1' => \%col1_info, 'col2' => \%col2_info, ...);

Adds columns to the table object. If supplied key => hashref pairs uses
the hashref as the column_info for that column.

=head2 add_column

  $table->add_column('col' => \%info?);

Convenience alias to add_columns
