I think we should be able to do:
db.define_table('thing',
Field(....),
Field.from_template(...), #1
Field.virtual(...), #2
Field.lazy(...), #2
other_table1,
other_table2,
...
singular = 'thing', #1
plural = 'things', #1
format = '....',
migrate = True)
#1 are easy. #2 not so easy. yet all these changes must be coordinated
to have one consistent API.
