> This is something Daniel and I have talked about before, and now that we have
> the @ syntax, this is easy to implement. The idea is that relation names are
> no longer required, and you can instead use a fat arrow (obviously that can
> be changed) to signify this. The benefit is not having to engage in the
> mental load of having to name everything.
> One other possibility is just making "alias =" optional. I fear that that
> could be a little TOO magical, but I welcome opinions.
