True.

But, case in point:  I'm using DBIx::Class::Ordered and it started to fail
today with a somewhat odd error.  Turned out that "columns" had been
modified such that the position column was no longer returned in the row.
 Ordered was assuming it was a NULL and tried to set the position to a value
that existed and the database complained that it was not unique.
