mysql varchar should have default length

[isnakode]

hi all
after using drizzle for a while, i realize that i used to specify varchar length, isn't the default length for VARCHAR should be 255 characters?, i think drizzle should provide this default behaviour

Drizzle has made it easy to define reusable column types. For your case you can use the following when defining your schema.

const varchar255 = (name: string) => varchar(name, { length: 255 });

Rather than asking 'how to define a reusable varchar type,' I just want to know why Drizzle does not provide a default length in the first place.
