 Class WP_Date_Query in wp-includes/date.php already allows filtering of
 the valid columns. But when constructing the query limits the output to
 the known data fields in the core tables. The attached patch adds a filter
 over the known_columns so that the entire class can be used to generate
 SQL clauses on tables beyond the core tables.

 Yes, the class could be extended with the validate_column method
 overloaded but why??
