that SQLCOLUMNS ought to have.

Microsoft /owns/ the ODBC specs. I checked, and the SQLCOLUMNS VIEW matches the specs; any column after the 18th can be system-specific, and why COLUMN_TEXT can be there, so there is little reason why the SQLCOLUMNS could not be re-created [if properly managed with System Change Management, if done by the user vs the OS] to include the COLUMN_HEADING column from an underlying\based-on SYSCOLUMNS VIEW just like is done with COLUMN_TEXT.
