doesn't automatically detect and fill 'raw' columns #2
i think the system should automatically detect and fill raw columns.
to take the Airport example from README.rdoc, Airport#country is a belongs_to association. during the data mine, it is being automatically filled by doing Country.find_by_name(X).

attr.store :country, :field_number => 2, :foreign_key => :name
what if it checked for a :country_raw field and filled that in? you would end up with stuff like
:country => [a real country object representing the US], :country_raw => 'UNITED STATES'
