    # The accessed_columns plugin records which columns have been
    # accessed for a model instance.  This is useful if you are
    # looking to remove other columns from being SELECTed by the
    # dataset that retrieved the instance, which can significantly
    # improve performance:
    #
    #   a = Album[1]
    #   a.accessed_columns # []
    #   a.name
    #   a.accessed_columns # [:name]
    #   a.artist_id
    #   a.accessed_columns # [:name, :artist_id]
    #
    # Note that this plugin should probably not be used in production,
    # as it causes a performance hit.
    # 
    # Usage:
    #
    #   # Make all model subclass instances record accessed columns (called before loading subclasses)
    #   Sequel::Model.plugin :accessed_columns
    #
    #   # Make the Album instances record accessed columns
    #   Album.plugin :accessed_columns
