[Dbix-class] Strange (expected?) inflate_column and update behaviour

[Michele Beltrame]

Hello!

In a table schema of mine I have:

__PACKAGE__->inflate_column('published', {
    inflate     => sub { time_db2obj(shift) },
    deflate     => sub { time_obj2db(shift) },
});

I noticed that the deflate method is NOT called when I use update() on a
resultset an pass data like this:

$c->model('Dbs')->resultset('MyTable')->update(
    field1     => 'val',
    field2     => 'val'
    published  => $datetime_object
);

At least, it seems like thid because "cannot compare a DateTime to a
scalar" is thrown. The deflate method IS however regularly called if I
do like this:

$c->model('Dbs')->resultset('MyTable')->published($datetime_object);
$c->update();

That is, if I use named method ( such as published() ) it works,
otherwise it doesn't.

Is this an expected behaviour?

By the way, create() works well and calls the deflator.

	Thanks, Michele.
