Okay.  I know why WHERE doesn't support aliases, but was a little confused
by the example.  The reason for that is that the select list isn't
worked out until after the rows are qualified and it technically fits
spec.

I think it might fall into something like (untested):select * from (select a, (...) as subsel from taba) as foo where
foo.subsel>5;
to fit standard, but that's pretty ugly...
