Unjoined tables. Inconsistent alias references. I think there are a bunch of things and if we can make a list and get a mode to warn about all of them, it would be very useful.
Identification of unjoined tables should be very useful - but it is far to original proposal - so it can be solved separately.
This patch is simple - and usually we prefer more simple patches than one bigger.
