I don't think anyone else was using the existing code; it needed some of the
changes you've just mentioned first :-)

The names of these attributes look a little sloppy.  Could they have a
consistent prefix to give readers of the code a hint at what they're looking
at?  I would propose "rowColumns, rowKeyColumns, rowTableName, rowForeignKeys",
as long as we're breaking compatibility.

This looks like a good evolution of the ROW interface.  How stable do you feel
this new iteration will be?
