=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to store multiple columns in one. This is useful when
you want to store dynamic number of columns in database or you just don't know
what columns will be stored there. Or when you can't (or don't want) to alter
your tables in database.

Module allows you to transparently use this columns as if they were normal
columns in your table. With one obvious restriction: you cannot search rows in a
table and therefore you cannot add relationships using these columns (search is
needed to build reverse relationship).

Module handles its own dirty column management and will not update the parent
field unless any columns is changed.

Note: The component needs to be loaded before Core and plugin 'Ordered'.
If you get an error like 'no such column: <frozencolumn>' while updating a row
then try to move this module more closer to the start of the load_components
