But this is more clear and omits dependence from XSQLDA internals:

name = isc_dsql_get_name(xsqlda, col);

But this is more clear and omits dependence from XSQLDA internals:

type = isc_dsql_get_type(xsqlda, col);

I don't think that current C API is so impossibly terrible, but I should
agree that some things may be more comfortable even in plain C.
