Compound foreign keys - defined with ``FOREIGN KEY (col_a, col_b) REFERENCES other(col_a, col_b)`` - are returned as a single ``ForeignKey`` with ``is_compound=True``, ``column`` and ``other_column`` set to ``None``, and the participating columns available in the ``columns`` and ``other_columns`` lists.
