Should column headers be picked up?

If I set debug=1 I see

edd@rob:~/git/librdata(feature/reader_example)$ ./readEx 
Read table: my_table
Read column: (null) with 3 elements
Read column: (null) with 3 elements
Read text value: hello at 0
Read text value: goodbye at 1
Read text value: (null) at 2
Error 0
edd@rob:~/git/librdata(feature/reader_example)$ 

Should we not see column headers column1 and column2 from here ?

Depending on the internal representation, column names sometimes appear after the data. There is a separate rdata_column_name_handler for this case. I'll update readEx.c.
