[Dbix-class] Ambiguity in the DBIx::Class::InflateColumn POD

Just checking that when the documentation in the 
DBIx::Class::InflateColumn package says under the inflate_column method :

"The |inflate| method is called when you access the field, while the 
|deflate| method is called when the field needs to used by the database."

it means that this is only called when you use the field accessor method 
and not the get_column method. eg this method is only called when you do 
"$foo->bar" and not when you do "$foo->get_column('bar')".

This is currently how it works and I am just checking that this is by 
design and won't be changed in the future.

Cheers,
