Eh, I have always thought that what I'd like to do is this:

__PACKAGE->add_columns(
   username {
      json =3D> 1,
   },
   street_address {
      json =3D> 1,
   });

And then the TO_JSON method would just return:
{ username =3D> $self->username, street_address =3D> $self->street_address }

You can set the JSON class to automatically call the TO_JSON method, which
is pretty convenient in these cases.

Anyway, I'm probably *not* really talking about an inflator as the given
items keep their same methods.
