ModeShape used to validate the columns used in queries, but that actually prevents users from selecting residual columns. For example, this query is now valid:

SELECT [myprop] FROM [nt:unstructured]

1. columns that are assumed to be residual columns because they do not match property definitions on node types.
2. columns that don't match but are very similar to defined properties
