Is there any way to provide consistent aliasing for column names so that the parameters to ->search() and the column accessors use the same column aliases?
I see DBIx::Class::Result::ProxyField on CPAN, but it looks not quite complete? Background: I'm trying to use DBIx::Class to access data from a commercial database application. The app has completely inconsistent column names, where the same column (often a foreign key) has slightly or completely different names in each table. I'd like to be able to consistently alias the columns so that using the schema doesn't involve thinking, "Oh, I'm using table X, not table Y, so the column I want is named Foo..."
