There is internal Jifty magic with column names ending in "_id". You
can add an _id to a refers_to column to get the actual numerical ID back
instead of the actual object. As a result, you can't name refers_to
columns with an ending of "_id", things get confused.
This bit me for hours once a long time ago and, now that I'm thinking
about it, I don't think I ever contributed a documentation patch. Shame
on me :(.
I don't have time to craft one at the moment, but if you do I'm sure it
would be welcomed.
