It’s unclear where “all relevant places” are but it seems like a lot of
effort in response to a single report of user confusion (this one). I.e.,
maybe we aren’t as thorough as we could be but it doesn’t seem to matter in
the real world.
That said, 5.7 has a couple of example-providing sections for renaming
tables and columns. Expanding that a bit would be acceptable to me.
