SQL*Plus column command not working with Script Runner

Question

SQL Developer EA 2.1
When running a script (interactive or from a file), the COLUMN commands are ignored. The documentation (User's Guide 1.7.1) says that COLUMN is supported, but the headings set in the column command are not changed. As a test, the SET FEEDBACK OFF command is processed.
SET FEEDBACK OFF
COLUMN ename HEADING 'Name'
COLUMN job HEADING 'Job'
COLUMN deptno HEADING 'Dept'
SELECT ename as ename, JOB, DEPTNO
FROM EMPLOYEES;
The documentation for Script Runner (User's Guide 1.7.2) says that a much more limited set of SQL*Plus commands are available.
Is this intended behavior? If so, the documentation should reflect that the COLUMN command is ignored.

Hi,
Doc bug logged:
Bug 9015160 - OTNEA1: USER GUIDE COLUMN SUPPORTS 'COLUMN...NEWVAL' ONLY
The user guide says column is supported, but
Column supports the following new_value use only
i.e. moving a value from a selected column to a substitution variable:
column aval new_v a
select 1 aval from dual;
select '&a' || ' is 1' from dual;
Output:
AVAL
1
1 rows selected
'1'||'IS1'
1 is 1
1 rows selected
