   > Coincidentally looks like SpiceAI was able to implement file scoped 
metadata columns (thanks [@lukekim](https://github.com/lukekim) for sharing!) 
However, I think we should implement these as system/hidden columns and decide 
visibility + collision policy up front.
   
   The issue with this is that we've had trouble deciding what the policy for 
system / hidden columns should be, how that interacts with joins, etc, which as 
per linked PRs has failed in the past and may be an invasive change. I do agree 
this is a better solution though if we can agree on the semantics and the 
implementation isn't too gnarly.
   
   Does `filename(table.col)` resolve the ambiguity?
