Interesting challenge with default_value: I need to be able to tell if the default values passed to .create() differ from those in the database already.

Introspecting that is a bit tricky:

```pycon

import sqlite_utils db = sqlite_utils.Database(memory=True) db["blah"].create({"id": int, "name": str}, not_null=("name",), defaults={"name": "bob"}) <Table blah (id, name)> db["blah"].columns [Column(cid=0, name='id', type='INTEGER', notnull=0, default_value=None, is_pk=0), Column(cid=1, name='name', type='TEXT', notnull=1, default_value="'bob'", is_pk=0)] `` Note how a default value of the Python stringbobis represented in the results ofPRAGMA table_info()asdefault_value="'bob'"` - it's got single quotes added to it!

So comparing default values from introspecting the database needs me to first parse that syntax. This may require a new table introspection method.
