Subject: declarative database schemes - automatically create migration files?

I'm looking for something like this:

  class Foo
    include Model
    field id, serial 
    field name, Text
  end

  migrate

now migrate should write these two files:

  migrations/scheme1.rb     # current representation of the scheme
  migrations/migration1.rb  # migrate up to get database into scheme1 state.

Then when adding a value

  class Foo
    [..]
    field city, Text # << new
  end

then migrate should diff migration/scheme1.rb with what the code
contains and write

  migrations/scheme2.rb
  migrations/migration2.rb

and let me review/edit migration2 before it gets run.

Does such a library already exist in some way?
