   So, after getting a good night's rest I've worked out that for most of these 
cases it's better and easier to just `SELECT *` and then use the query results 
to check for column presence.
   
   However, it's still unclear what should be done for `register_table`, 
`drop_table`, and `rename_table`. 
   
   Can there be a table and view with the same name, or are they mutually 
exclusive? If they're mutually exclusive, drop_table and rename_table are 
easily solvable. 
   
   `register_table` is a little more complicated. Should we keep 
backend-specific code for detecting `iceberg_type` and have two separate code 
paths in `register_table` for either case?
