Hi,

> "NO, go away!"

Well, before adding a feature request, I usually would like to understand
the real-world use case. In this case, I don't understand it so far. I know
about the following two use cases for dropping columns:

- Manually at development time: in this case, the developer tries to drop a
column manually. If this doesn't work, a nice exception message is enough
in this case.

- Programmatically when installing a new version of an application: in this
case, the program drops the column (for example at startup), but only if
the schema is old. The program is expected to run automatically and without
problems (if there is a problem, then the application is buggy, or there is
something wrong with the database, both needs manual intervention).

For both cases, I don't see how additional metadata would help.

It seems you have a different use case... Could you please explain it?

Regards,
Thomas
