in my code it is...  i enforce that for simplicity, and then have '_'  
prepended accessor names for non-column name accessors

i want the columns.

i want to clone the data/row representation of the db for user and  
serialization by non-rosedb code -- the clone methods look like they  
will include the object class, meta data, and rosedb associated  
items.  i really just need a 'dict' / hash of the column_name/ 
column_value pairs .  this data will be read by some custom perl  
object manipulating scripts that interface with python and php (sadly  
yes, php)
