The problem is that PostgreSQL does not pass any information about
aliases down to the client.
So we have two possibilities to implement this feature: Hack up the
server to provide that additional info, or implement a fully-fledged SQL
parser in the client and get the alias names ourselves.
Both seems not worth it currently.
HTH,
Markus
