module FileColumn

  # This bit of code allows you to pass regular old files to
  # file_column.  file_column depends on a few extra methods that the
  # CGI uploaded file class adds.  We will add the equivalent methods
  # to file objects if necessary by extending them with this module. This
  # avoids opening up the standard File class which might result in
  # naming conflicts.
