That would be bad news, given that \crosstabview is meant for interactive use where these number shortcuts are much more likely to be used than in proper production SQL code. Be it only for ease of typing, or for the case where the columns are just called ?column?. If there's no way out, what about changing it the other way, i.e. breaking the case where the column is named by a number? That seems much less of a problem in practice.
