Right now columns_info_for (the method, as opposed to the branch, but
I'm assuming the branch extends the same basic concepts the current
method has...) is in a deprecated state.  In -current and 0.08, it
will no longer be called by default like it is now for empty
column_info, and in the next development cycle it will be removed
completely.  Basically, we reasoned out that this code belongs in
Loader and SQLT, but not in DBIx::Class core.  Its too heuristic and
fragile, even for what little it does today, and trying to extend it
any further would be like reinventing parts of Loader and/or SQLT in
the core.
