+*   Don't share options between reference id and type columns
+
+    When using a polymorphic reference column in a migration, sharing options
+    between the two columns doesn't make sense since they are different types.
+    The `reference_id` column is usually an integer and the `reference_type`
+    column a string so options like `unsigned: true` will result in an invalid
+    table definition.

 *   Fix regression of #1969 with SELECT aliases in HAVING clause.
