  Target Milestone: ---

Under the hood the store method uses DBIx::Classes update_or_insert which in
turn calls update for updates.

The update method accepts a hashref of key value pairs relating to fields to be
udpated. If the value is a scalar ref then it passes the it through unaltered
to the database and as such things like 'NOW()' and 'field + 1' can be used
allowing the database to do some of the work. -

As it stands, we will catch such values and replace them silently with
defaults.
