You don't need them in DBIC - CDBI needs them because it overrides get and set
so you can't make normal accessors, in DBIC you can just do

__PACKAGE__->mk_group_accessors('simple' => @attrs);

or inherit from Class::Data::Accessor or your other favourite accessor
system and just use that :)

It's not a column, so we don't expect you to pretends it's one.
