Therefore, I would like to expose both userData and the properties map on TableColumn. I can see the value in adding this in, and there is a patch attached to the Jira issue above that adds this in.

It could be argued that this should be against all controls that do not extend Control (including TableColumn, Tab, and the MenuItem classes from memory), but for now I'm taking it on a case-by-case base. I'm totally happen to be asked to add this API to Tab as well, if people want, as it is now the only outlier.
