Agree.
Just need to make sure that we document this clearly in the manual.
Some parts of the manual are a ambiguous about column names vs. field
names.
3.5.1 References -> Named references only talks about column names, but
not field named.
3.5.5 Field and range formulas has
‘$NAME=’
Named field, see *note Advanced features::.
only mentioning filed.
3.5.6 Column formulas says
The left-hand
side of a column formula can not be the name of column, it must be the
numeric column reference or ‘$>’.
