If I could time travel, I'd make it _get_column so this fact was obvious.
But too much code now relies on it, sadly.
I suspect when we create a new, cleaner row object interface, perhaps as a
factor out in the 09 process, things like get_column will simply go away
so
people don't keep making this mistake.
I remember that in some cases $obj->$row doesn't work and we must use
$obj->get_column('col').
I think this only happens if you call your column 'delete' or 'insert'
or similar.
Expect when you pull fields from a search that were created using
functions or aggregates. Would be nice if one could get inflated objs for
those too ;)
