Description:
I'm running my queries on the TPC-H schema, which can be found at:
https://github.com/dimitri/tpch-citus/blob/master/schema/tpch-schema.sql
I found the following inconsistency:
```
tpch=# select case when true then true else true end;
case
------
t
(1 row)
tpch=# select case when true then true else (select true) end;
bool
------
t
(1 row)
```
As you can see, the auto-generated aliases do not correspond. The expected
behaviour was for the first query to also name the column 'bool'.
I base my expectations on:
1) This query naming the result 'bool':
```
tpch=# select true;
bool
------
t
(1 row)
```
2) These queries propagating the column name from the else clause of the
case expression:
2.1) Propagation of the aggregate function name
```
tpch=# select case when true then true else bool_or(true) end;
bool_or
---------
t
(1 row)
```
2.2) Propagation of the [compound] column identifier:
```
tpch=# select case when true then 1 else t1.n_nationkey end from nation as
t1 limit 1;
n_nationkey
-------------
1
(1 row)
```
2.3) Propagation of the simple column identifier:
```
tpch=# select case when true then 1 else n_nationkey end from nation limit
1;
n_nationkey
-------------
1
(1 row)
```
2.4) And even nested case expressions:
```
tpch=# select case when true then 1 else (
case when true then 1 else t1.n_nationkey end
) end from nation as t1 limit 1;
n_nationkey
-------------
1
(1 row)
```
