Description:
It would be nice to be able to run an alter table which copies the table and then keep the old table with ${tablename}_copy or somthing similar. This makes it easy to rollback with RENAME TABLE

This doesn't include new changes, but for those binlogs might be used.

This is especially handy for DROP COLUMN actions.
