pushed NewSysViews. Non-hackers really shouldn't be accessing the
system catalogs directly, and if information_schema doesn't give them
enough data, we should start adding new views to I_S.
This is really a long way from JD's original suggestion, though.
Back on that track, I'd like to see a facility whereby we could provide
an alias (or synonym, to use a nearby subject) columns and other
objects. That would help to overcome naming glitches without breaking
things quite so much.
