both of these are now added to CVS HEAD, only missing the implementation

hmm, I'd like to have a more 'elegant' way of doing it, like doing it
via the data model (both the one returned by get_schema like any
others). This involves more work on the providers, but I think it makes
more sense, given we already have the update_column API in the data
model.
