Indeed. I'm not too proud of that very point either:-) You are right that 
it deserves at the minimum a clear comment. To put the varying size in the 
DDL string means vsprintf and splitting the query building some more, 
which I do not find desirable.

Apart from I do not need it (at least right now), and that it is more 
work, my opinion is that it would be rejected. Not a strong insentive to 
spend time in that direction.
