What if the patch were the 'full bonanza', combining both of the
earlier ones, with a special exception for the 'type' column, since
that one would be a hassle, and is going away soon via a Ruby update
anyway?

Even better, these checks could also be added to the generator script.

Is that too draconian? Personally, I think this can be a source of
very frustrating bugs to Rails newcomers, and it would be better to
err on the side of caution.
