Yes, it does occasionally happen that you want to drop a column. It can be
worked around by dropping/reloading the table.. I personally would find it
useful to have the ability to do it in a single command, no matter how
slow/innefficient the implementation is. Just a matter of someone getting
around to writing it, I think...
