It's worth noting that officially (i.e. in the docs), we don't even
call CTEs CTEs at any point. We call them WITH queries. I think that
that's a mistake because we call them CTEs everywhere else.

Is there interest in correcting this, by putting "CTEs" or "Common
table expressions" in parenthesis after "WITH queries" in the docs at
certain select places? I could write a documentation patch.
