But if you add a column and recompile everything as Rob put forth...

If you add the column at the end, then you wouldn't have to
recompile anything except the program that needs to use the new column.

Wouldn't having the indicator array would mean you'd have to actually
modify the code to increase the size?

Not of the column was added at the end.

Even if not, wouldn't the default value mean you'd have to modify it to

use

a value that prevents the new column from being used?

No. By default, the column will not be used because the program
was originally compiled without that column. Thus, any DDL-defined
default will take affect.
