I see mostly FixedSize = MaxSize, can we just use one size?

MaxSize is literally the maximum amount of data (e.g., characters in a varchar) that you can store. For example, for a varchar(40) it is 40
FixedSize, on the other hand, is the number of characters that are stored by mysql - for example for a char(40) it is 40.
In an earlier revision, I just had a Size property, but that does not help in my case: I also need to have a flag that indicates whether that size is variable or fixed.
Thus, since I did not want to limit how this property can be used, I decided against a boolean flag of what the size means and simply extract the size in both ways, although only 1 applies (similar to how we have EnumValues versus SetValues)
