What I would prefer (and we have briefly discussed some time ago) is
that we isolate some aspects of TIB_Column out to a new TIB_ColumnDef
class - so that information common to all instances is available at a
common point.

This could be implemented without impact to exist apps by using
get/set functions on the currently exposed properties.

Not sure if/when this could come into being. I make it sound easy,
but I think there could be considerable work involved.

(My biggest reservation is that it starts to look too much like the
VCL ;-)
