Review Comment:
   Fixed. The appended reserved fields go through .asNullable in the shared 
helper now, so a target built from a declared schema matches one built from an 
omitted schema. No more nullability diff when someone adds or removes a 
declaration. Added a test that checks the metadata column is nullable in the 
declared case.
