Mister,

> Question: will there be a :signed => true/false property?

Specifying a :min equal to or greater than 0 will result in the
Numeric property becoming unsigned in DB's that support it.  We can
also use :min and :max together to choose the most efficient column
type that can store the allowable range, and set up automatic
validations if dm-validations is being used.  The :min and :max option
communicate more about our intentions than :signed, and since we can
infer this from the :min it would be redundant to add a second way of
specifying the same constraint.

I would be the person to speak with.  I'm often in #datamapper or #dm-
hacking on irc.freenode.net under the nickname "dkubb".  You can also
bring things up on the mailing list too.  Either way is fine with me.

The best way to communicate importance is through working code.
Sending me a pull request with the actual well written, specced and
documented code is by far the best way to ensure something makes it
into dm-core 1.0.  However it's best to speak with me first and find
out if there were any plans around how a specific feature will be
added, and where, just to ensure your time is spent wisely.
