> With METAMODEL-54 fixed we can now address a conceptual issue of using
> VARCHAR as the "go to" text ColumnType of most MetaModel modules.
> Let's have a generic STRING (or TEXT?) column type and use this in case of
> the CSV module, the Excel module, the Fixed Width module etc. That would be
> more representative of what we actually provide since VARCHAR leaks the types
> of relational databases into all kinds of other modules.
