That was unhelpful ;(

You removed the important part of question ;)
I'll try again...

I'm arguing that is seems wrong that I need to match alias name like this
select t from (select t from t) t
or like this
select sq from (select sq from t sq) sq
to get unwrapped type.

Maybe I'm alone arguing this because nobody writes queries like that :)

Rikard
