Description of Changes
To improve my understanding of what
TableDef
andTableSchema
actually do wrt. indices & constraints, I slightly refactored theTableDef::generated_*
methods and added commentary. This should make it easier to understand the implementation of the index hack I am working on.One semantic aspect that changed here is that I removed the binary searches -- they don't seem to be correct, as I did not determine that we actually keep a sorted order by name in a

API and ABI breaking changes
None
