The symmetric => always option should check for existence of relevant db columns #8

Maybe more of a feature request than anything else but using the (default) symmetric => :always option without the relevant database columns currently fails silently. E.g. the secret_iv and secret_key attributes are assigned and saving the AR model appears to work. But when reloading the model from the database obviously the required secret_iv and secret_key values are lost making the encrypted secret irretrievable.

That's a bug, no question! Fixed in the latest version.

Awesome! I'm using Strongbox now to great effect, thanks for the great work.
