 - The `column` argument tells the engine which record key to use via its numeric or name. If not present the property name or the name of the first argument of the `setter` method will be used. In such case, you are required to specify the property names information.
 - The `cast` argument which accept the name of a class implementing the `TypeCasting` interface and responsible for type casting the record value. If not present, the mechanism will try to resolve the typecasting based on the property or method argument type.
 - The `options` argument enables controlling typecasting by providing extra arguments to `TypeCasting::setOptions` method. The argument expects an associative array and relies on named arguments to inject its value to the method.
