Oh, hmmm.  I was thinking this would somehow be more of an issue with 
anonymous subqueries, but it isn't really.  You can still duplicate column 
names in named subqueries.

So, never mind that. 

I still don't see it as terrifically useful functionality, given that it's 
just saving you 4 keystrokes ...
