  import
to be more flexible, we allow some configurations like: e.g. use Jifty::Plugin::ActorMetadata::Mixin::Model::ActorMetadata
    user_class => 'Foo::Model::Principal',
    map => { created_by => 'creator', created_on => 'created' }

current valid args are: user_class => 'Foo::Model::User'
        class that you want created_by and updated_by to be refers_to map => { created_by => 'creator', ... }
        the real column name you want to use. this also controls whether
        a column will be added or not. i.e. if the hashref is
        { created_by => 'creator', created_on => 'created' }, then columns
        'updated_by' and 'updated_on' will not be added.
