+# bz_alter_column_raw($table, $name, $new_def, $current_def)
+#
+# Description: A helper function for bz_alter_column.
+#              Alters a column in the database
+#              without updating any Schema object. Generally
+#              should only be called by bz_alter_column.
+#              Used when either: (1) You don't yet have a Schema
+#              object but you need to alter a column, for some reason.
+#              (2) You need to alter a column for some database-specific
+#              reason.
+# Params:      $table   - The name of the table the column is on.
+#              $name    - The name of the column you're changing.
+#              $new_def - The abstract definition that you are changing
+#                         this column to.
+#              $current_def - (optional) The current definition of the
+#                             column. Will be used in the output message,
+#                             if given.
+# Returns:     nothing
