 Correct, use of longtable is hard coded.=C2=A0 This is quite
unfortunate, and I've long been wanting a better alternative
that will work with 2-column text but also break across
pages when needed.=C2=A0 Haven't found one yet.

Failing that, it may be worth having an option for regular
tables.

=C2=A0 Do I indeed have to resort into writing my own raw LaTeX code if I w= ant
=C2=A0 tables in two-column output?

 It's probably possible to redefine the longtable environment
to something else in your preamble.
