Review comment:
       I do agree that it might make sense to add to the builder. However, 
since it's a pretty specific occurrence (and really only applies to `identity`) 
would that be possibly confusing to users about when it should be called and 
what it would be applied to?
   
   It seems that `BaseMetadataTable#transformSpec` is the only place that uses 
`identity` with this boolean argument as false. Would it be better to have a 
different function for metadata tables to use to bypass this issue?
