Regarding Keith's comment on the error message, that's quite right, we don't
give a helpful error message for an incorrect use of Set_Col.

The reason is that Set_Col is overloaded. If a function is not overloaded,
there is no problem, and we give a nice message, but overloading makes
it tricky.

We disussed specially recognizing the case of varying number of parameters,
which is a special case (which applies to Set_Col) and might be a path
for a better error message.
