A way to add functions like addTimeStamps

something like:

$table->addMethod('addUserIds', function($table) {
  $table->addColumn('created_by', 'integer', ['unsigned' => true, 'null' => true])
            ->addColumn('updated_by', 'integer', ['unsigned' => true, 'null' => true])
            ->addColumn('deleted_by', 'integer', ['unsigned' => true, 'null' => true]);
});

Then you could:

$table->addTimestamps()->addUserIds()->create();

Or any number of standardized columns. Is there a way to do this already that maybe I have overlooked? I have considered extending the AbstractMigration class but I'm not sure that would get me there.

Review the existing migration and table APIs, including AbstractMigration, to determine whether custom chained methods such as addUserIds can already be defined. Compare that behavior with the proposed addMethod example and document or implement a supported way to add standardized column helpers; done means the example can be used during a migration without duplicating the column definitions.
