Looking at these new gda_column_get/set_attribute functions. Still it is
not clear to me how to get the size and scale of a column. Again, in V3,
I just use gda_column_get_defined_size and gda_column_get_scale and
done. Can you please give a small example/snippet how to use this with
these new functions?  How/where can I find out about the attribute
names? 

Thanks,
