/**
* Method creates an Inspector instance and a utility function ($first) to return the
* first item in a metadata array. Next, it loops through all the properties in the model,
* and sifts out all that have an @column flag. Any other properties are ignored at this point.
* The column’s @type flag is checked to make sure it is valid, raising a
* Model\Exception\Type in the event that it is not. If the column’s type is valid,
* it is added to the $_columns property. Every valid $primary column leads to the
* incrementing of the $primaries variable, which is checked at the end
* of the method to make sure that exactly one primary column has been defined.
* In essence, this method takes the User model definition and returns an associative array of column data
*
* @return array
* @throws Exception\Type
* @throws Exception\Primary
