I introduced gda_column_index (originally called GdaDataModelColumnIndexAttributes) a couple of months ago. Therefore I am just curious about the comment above . Why is (was) gda_column_index_free a bad idea while gda_column_free for instance is not? Probably not quiet awake here, but just to prevent that I will be making similar mistakes in the future.

Thanks,
