What justification is there for re-inventing SQL::Abstract and SQL::Translator
rather than sending patches? I like the interface but I don't see the
advantage of re-inventing all the underlying code when there's already good
prior art - and when the rest of the perl ORM/etc. community is finally
moving towards standardising on these two and maintaining them together.

How do you handle cases where you don't know the column list and need to
just do a SELECT '*' or similar?
