if i'm not totally off my rocker, this would require some form of 'set' magic
on the scalar to be monitored.  that might not be quite so practical, if you
want to be able to use any arbitrary scalar, unless you could Tie or otherwise
install the proper set magick on the scalar when you attach the model to it
---- you'd have to have the model do that monitoring, because the renderer
gets used for every row in a column, or possibly lots of columns.

hmm.  sounding less useful.
