This is probably the sort of thing that should be explained part II "The
SQL Language".  In particular, section 7.2 is about table expressions,
which this is either a case of or related to.

A few examples on the command references pages to show how it can be
useful are probably OK, but the big picture shoulbd be developed in
chapter 7 or so.
