### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
People may need to write flexible SQL queries that adapt to different table
schemas without hardcoding column names.
Query reusability is very limited currently, and creating dynamic queries
requires external templating. A built-in mechanism to define and use dynamic
SQL macros would significantly enhance the expressiveness and reusability
### Describe the solution you'd like
Introduce support for dynamic SQL macros that allow users to parameterize
column selection. For example, a macro could accept lists of columns to include
or exclude and then automatically select the appropriate columns from a given
table or CTE. An example usage might look like this:
```sql
CREATE OR REPLACE MACRO dynamic_select(
include_cols,
exclude_cols
) AS TABLE (
FROM source_table
SELECT
COLUMNS(col ->
(list_contains(include_cols, col))
AND
(NOT list_contains(exclude_cols, col))
)
);
WITH source_table AS (
SELECT * FROM employees
)
FROM dynamic_select(
['id', 'name', 'department'],
['salary']
);
```
