with a UUID alias to avoid
+ // ambiguous names when the same literal is used before and after
a join.
+ // The name tracker will ensure that two literals in the same

to those columns.
Review Comment:
I've updated some of the comments made by @vbarua. I'm happy to merge as is
to unblock us and then I can have a go at improving the name tracker in a
follow-up?
