Well, I'm pretty well along with this patch.  One
thing I'm stuck on is trying to figure out how to get
at the column_info from inside the
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI package.  Anyone have a
suggestion?  If I can get this to work it would be
great for those of us that need to specify bind
attributes for inserting/selected/updating database
with those "special' column types, like Oracle BLOB,
or Postgres's BYTEA.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.  I hope I can make
this work, DBIx::Class has really given me a lot and I
hope I can finally returnt the favor :)
