Release justification: low risk, high benefit changes to existing functionality
This patch adds two schema exists functions for use with migrations
that involve multiple schema changes on the same column(s) in order
to preserve the idempotence of the migration(s). They are weaker
in the sense that they do not check that the stored and final
expected descriptor match.
