I think there's probably cases where this is desirable, and cases where it's
undesirable, so I don't think it's necessarily a problem.
One data point: we do DETACH/ATTACH tables during normal operation, before
type-promoting ALTERs, to avoid worst-case disk use, and to avoid locking the
table for a long time.  It'd be undesirable (but maybe of no great consequence)
to trigger an ALTER when we DETACH them, since we'll re-ATTACH it shortly
afterwards.
However, I think DROP should be handled ?
