Owner

Currently databases have to declare string and int types using the maximum size available to them.

The String_ and Int_ types should be made public, be declarable as attributes, and introduce a "max length" property. The String_ type should enforce a default max length (breaking change!) and also keep supporting infinite length (use the INF constant, since it is clearer than having a 0 sentinel value).

The Schema class should be changed to accomodate types being declared as attributes, which override the PHP-declared type.

The same should be done for the Blob type, if #7 is implemented by then.

Update:
Separate the namespaces: Slendium\Ocd\Schema\Types contains type implementations and Slendium\Ocd\Schema\Type contains additional interfaces for types to optionally support.

An interface Type\Sized would be implemented by the string and int types.

Currently databases have to declare `string` and `int` types using the maximum size available to them.
