It's not reserved in CDBI or SQL, so it must be Maypole.
And having to change column names is a bad thing.
Class::DBI has to be really careful when adding new methods in case they
clash with likely column names[1]. Maypole is going to have to be
equally careful in this regard.

[1] Obviously almost anything could be a column name. If someone has a
column called 'has_many', or 'discard_changes', Class::DBI isn't happy
unless they rename their column. Having a column called 'accessor_name'
is really going to screw things up. But I've had to get rid of methods
like 'min' and 'max' which are fairly column names, and replace them
with 'minimum_value_of' and 'maximum_value_of'.
