Comment (by azaozz):

 Following a discussion in #wordpress-dev it was decided to use the old
 functions and the new API (WP_Screen) in parallel in 3.3 and revisit it
 again in 3.4.

 In that terms we can (should?) add get_column_headers(),
 get_hidden_columns() and get_hidden_meta_boxes() equivalents in WP_Screen
 so we can deprecate the stand-alone functions later.

 Or perhaps we can "autoload" these three in `__construct()` as they are
 helper functions to get user options.
