Something change in Rails 2.3.2 since 2.1.2, and I'm not sure what, or how to handle it. 
Watch how the 'role' column (which the below shows that it is a private method, even though
it's just a column in the users table) gets handled by the different versions. 
Rails 2.3.2 throws an error when first getting it, 2.1.2 doesn't. 
Both update their classes to show that its not a private method after it has been set once!

In Rails 2.3.2:

Loading development environment (Rails 2.3.2)
>> cols = User.columns.map {|c| c.name}
