I know this is an old post, but I found an example of how it works.

In fact, I believe sequelize.js does it with the following code:

var STRING = function(length, binary) {
  if (this instanceof STRING) {
    this._binary = !!binary
    if (typeof length === 'number') {
      this._length = length
    } else {
      this._length = 255
    }
  } else {
    return new STRING(length, binary)
  }
}

STRING.prototype = {
  get BINARY() {
    this._binary = true
    return this
  },
  get type() {
    return this.toString()
  },
  toString: function() {
    return 'VARCHAR(' + this._length + ')' + ((this._binary) ? ' BINARY' : '')
  }
}

Object.defineProperty(STRING, 'BINARY', {
  get: function() {
    return new STRING(undefined, true)
  }
})

You can see it in their docs for data types: http://sequelizejs.com/docs/latest/models#block-2-line-0. Notice Sequelize.STRING and Sequelize.STRING(1234)
