Thé other day, on IRC, someone wanted a dynamic table accepting value
in whichever column you name. That would probably mean having a
special INSERT INTO which ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ... for you.

Maybe INSERT INTO ... WITH ADD COLUMN OPTION;

This sure looks suspicious, but the asking came from another product
and it seems that could help here too. Oh and you get text columns I
guess, by default...
