Essential columns defaults to All?

The POD says:

~  Essential are the minimal set of columns needed to load and use
~  the object. Only the columns in this group will be loaded when an
~  object is retrieve()d. It is typically used to save memory on a class
~  that has a lot of columns but where we mostly only use a few of them.
~  It will automatically be set to All if you dont set it yourself.
~  The Primary column is always part of your Essential group and
~  Class::DBI will put it there if you dont.

So if I don't set the Essential group explicitly, it should default
to All columns. But in testing that, it looks like it defaults to
the Primary group instead:

__PACKAGE__->columns(All => qw/
~  user_group_id
~  user_id
~  group_id
~  expires
~  creation_date
~  active
/);
print __PACKAGE__->_essential;

That just prints user_group_id. Am I misunderstanding?

Thanks,

Maurice
