Is that a good idea, or should we refuse the drop entirely? A table
drop zaps a lot more stuff than a column drop.
What I was actually wondering about after reading Tim's report was
whether we could support zero-column tables, which would eliminate the
need for the special case altogether. I have not looked to see how
extensive are the places that assume tuples have > 0 columns ...
