You can easily trigger the restart, and, from memory, the Annotations plugin does. But, I think for me it has been a little bit of laziness as the custom columns only need to be made once, and it would add extra code to write and maintain. I'll probably do it some day when I get a bit bored, as I'm actually a bit tired of how many people don't actually read the instructions/help and don't understand the need to create the columns, can't find it or mess it up. Though maybe the starting point is to add something to calibre for the plugin to call. Passing in suggested names and the data type would help to get them created properly.
