--- Table for holding user properties.

+--
+-- User preferences and perhaps other fun stuff. :)
+-- Replaces the old user.user_options blob, with a couple nice properties:
+--
+-- 1) We only store non-default settings, so changes to the defauls
+--    are now reflected for everybody, not just new accounts.
+-- 2) We can more easily do bulk lookups, statistics, or modifications of
+--    saved options since it's a sane table structure.

   up_property varbinary(32) not null,
