Comment(by pramsey):

 I'm fairly strenuously opposed to st_geometry_columns, in any form. We're
 hopefully jettisoning old scruft at 2.0, because we know we're going to
 have to live with 2.0 for a long time. And I don't want to have to explain
 two metadata tables to everyone I teach PostGIS to for the next 10 years.
 I also feel that enough software uses and expects an un-prefixed
 geometry_columns that keeping it is preferable to switching to table names
 that are not known or used.
