referencing columns

[Lukas Eder]

 Well, I'm mentioning this because I've never seen a type T extends
Iterable<T>. It sounds weird and intriguing, but that's not always a good
thing :). It would allow for things like:

for (Column c1 : columns)
  for (Column c2 : c1)
    for (Column c3 : c2)
      ; // What do these even mean?

In your alternative design, ColumnIterator and ColumnCursor don't seem
strictly necessary. This would suffice:

public interface Row extends Iterable<Column>{
  public long rowNumber();
  public Row cancel();
  public Column at(String id);
  public Column at(int index);
  // forEach, iterator, spliterator
}

public interface Column {
  public <T> T get(Class<T> type);
  public SqlType sqlType();
  public <T> Class<T> javaType();
  public String id();
  public int index();
}

I will definitely do things like in the beginning of this email, trying to
"break" the API :)
