I figured as much - which makes sense, as the introspection in DBIC
is "just enough to get the work done, and no more."

Personally I'm waiting for DBICMoose because I think we'll be able
to contribute an "introspection layer" much more easily as a plug-in
to that.


p.s. I've decided to ship that code I mentioned for m2m. It's only
used to filter uninteresting columns from the display, and is not
for db updates. The uninteresting columns are replaced with data
from the "target" table of the m2m. I'm just updating the tests...
