We could have a column for all booleans, a column for all integers,
etc. but that's not really any more normalized than having a single
column for all the types with a rule for how to marshal each value
type.

Thé other day, on IRC, someone wanted a dynamic table accepting value in whichever column you name. That would probably mean having a special INSERT INTO which ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN ... for you.

Maybe INSERT INTO ... WITH ADD COLUMN OPTION;

This sure looks suspicious, but the asking came from another product and it seems that could help here too. Oh and you get text columns I guess, by default...
