C<DBD::File> since C<0.39> consolidates all persistent meta data of a table
-into a single structure stored in C<< $dbh->{f_meta} >>. While DBD::File
-provides only readonly access to this structure, modifications are still
-allowed.

-Primarily DBD::File provides access via setters C<get_file_meta>,
-C<set_file_meta> and C<clear_file_meta>. Those methods are easily
-accessible by the users via the C<< $dbh->func () >> interface provided
-by DBI. Well, many users don't feel comfortize when calling
-
- # don't require extension for tables cars
- $dbh->func ("cars", "f_ext", ".csv", "set_file_meta");
-
-DBD::File will inject a method into your driver to increase the user
-comfort to allow:
-
- # don't require extension for tables cars
- $dbh->foo_set_meta ("cars", "f_ext", ".csv");
-
-Better, but here and there users likes to do:
-
- # don't require extension for tables cars
- $dbh->{foo_tables}->{cars}->{f_ext} = ".csv";

-This interface is provided when derived DBD's define following in

+version C<0.41> and C<DBI::DBD::SqlEngine> version C<0.05>, this
+consolidation moves to L<DBI::DBD::SqlEngine>. It's still the
