Other way around. I have no problem with them. Other people complain :)

However, if it's going to be that simple I'd be more keen to have it as
a plugin of some sort, so that people who don't need this don't have to
install the module.

If we need to change anything around to make it easier to plug this in,
then I'm happy for that, but if there's a module on CPAN to do all the
work already I'd rather just have an optional thin interface to that.

something as simple as just having to do a 

  use Class::DBI::Plugin::TableInfo;

perhaps with some options if needed, would be ideal...
