update_or_create is designed to be a black box in this respect.  Once
I finish my changes to find (so it searches constraints the same way
update_or_create does now), you'll be able to do your own checks:

my $row = $rs->find(...);
if (defined $row) {
  $row->set_columns(...);
  $row->update;
}
else {
  $row = $rs->create(...);
}

Making update_or_create work differently than other ResultSet methods
that return a Row doesn't seem conducive to a clean API.
