Comment:

 I absolutely love this.

 Sadly the list tables were all implemented in slightly different ways,
 which is probably why we all hate them so much. But there *is* something
 to salvage here, and single_row_columns() can help with that. It's a nice
 abstraction we should be using everywhere.

 column_taxonomy() should probably be protected. Also, it should probably
 have a name other than column_ because it could otherwise be invoked by
 single_row_columns().

 I see no back compat concerns here, either.
