I have not found anything valuable as well. So the only conflict is
named cell vs. named column.

I am not familiar with table code enough to track earlier changes.
There are were experiments with last row references as $LR12

The following commit

formulas that apply to field ranges, fix minor issues
added support of @L last row reference, $LR12 is mentioned as backward
compatible way to specify a last row column.
So names after $ were used in the past, but only named fields are
currently supported, so it is not serious reason to disallow column names.
