the project that needs this has been on the back-burner for a while,
but, for the record, i have looked at "Column View" as a possible
replacement for "org tables as a database".  in addition to a
completing-read interface, column view gives the opportunity to add
descriptive text to a row -- i.e., just the regular, non-property,
content under a headline -- which is very nice.  but, i haven't played
with it enough to see how well it will fit my "needs".

cheers, Greg
