> In the new Increment class, the API to add columns is {{addColumn()}}.  If you do this multiple times for an individual column, the amount to increment by is replaced.  I think this is the right way for this method to work and it is javadoc'd with the behavior.
> We should add a new method, {{incrementColumn()}} which will increment any existing amount for the specified column rather than replacing it.
