The first problem is that we have to make the decision far upstream of that.
The second is that whether we *can* insert a parameter symbol is not the
same as whether we *should*. Even if we made that work, we'd only be
fixing the cases that currently result in trivial-for-users-to-recognize
syntactic errors. The deeper semantic errors arising from substituting
a parameter where the user meant to refer to a similarly-named column
can only be dealt with through user education.
