Review Comment:
I think you're right Arttu about other cases. I think now() for example
might also suffer from this.
If the name tracker took in the current DF schema then I think that would
work. I looked at doing that first but there were a number of call sites for
the name tracker that looked a little scary to touch. What do you think?
