Note, it is not necessary to bother with migrate=False if you are setting
migrate_enabled=False -- the latter will prevent all migrations (the former
is simply used to set the default value of the "migrate" argument for each
.define_table in case it is not explicitly set, but that is ignored when
migrate_enabled=False). There should be no need for fake_migrate if there
are no plans to do any migrations at all.
