Wouldn't the output of a function be something mutually exclusive with
summary types? In other words, a column can be defined to use a
summary type, or it could be defined (with the proposed idea) as the
output of a function, but not both at the same time.

After playing around some more with org-collector, I found that it can
in fact do some of the things I had previously thought it couldn't do,
like specifying custom values for column headers. The documentation
on worg for org-collector seems a bit lacking, in that it doesn't
cover all of the available properties you can use on a "#+BEGIN:
propview ..." line. I had to read through the code to identify some
additional properties I could use.
Nonetheless, it seems that org-collector doesn't make the level of a
headline available as a property, so there isn't a good way to achieve
an equivalent to column-view's :maxlevel property in org-collector.
If this were made possible in org-collector, it would be able to do
(at least) most of what column-view can do. But, there are also the
:hlines, :vlines, and :skip-empty-rows properties for column-view,
each which don't appear to have an equivalent with org-collector.
One other difference has to do with the "default value" when a
property isn't defined -- org-collector sets the default value to 0,
while for column-view it seems to be an empty string. I therefore
modified org-collector to make it easier to set this default value
when defining a dynamic block:
