When a new COLUMN is created in a non-empty table, it is now
initialized to either a DEFAULT value or NULL, depending on whether or not a DEFAULT value has been specified when calling NEW_TABLE or NEW_COLUMN.

Furthermore, the cardinality for the new column is set to that of the previously existing ones. This avoids a problem reported recently by Dan Guerrero (thanks!) where previously one had to use XJ to set the new size manually.

An examplet demonstrating this functionality will be available shortly. In the meantime, please see the attached screenshot.
