Yes, we already store the entire database structure in the .glom file.
But we like to adapt to any unexpected changes, either because someone
has changed the database without Glom (though we don't support that), or
because we have some error in our code.

For instance, it makes it possible to make a new .glom file for an
existing postgres database, though that is a secret feature at the
moment.
