We had this idea of providing a function that accepts a "should-be"
description of the db schema, and changes the current state into the
should-be state.

That is, this function would first compare the wanted schema with the
existing schema and then decide which tables have to be added, which
tables have to be extended etc.

Of course, we could also put this logic on top of the Creation and
Introspection modules, as a separate layer.

Thanks,
