Column aliasing is only worth it if it becomes uniform (i.e. works with
search() among other things). Since the current SQLA1.5x WHERE specification
can not be safely introspected, it is impractical to introduce any sort of
dbic-wide column aliasing. Help out with the SQLA2 development and what you
want will become reality fairly quickly :)
