I have a suggestion that you take away the possibility to get the result from a
oosqlite query as OO_STEM_OF_STEMS. As you have pointed out there are other
possibilities (.directory & .arrays) that probably is more suitable for
oosqlite query results. Sometimes less is more.

The problem would come, I think, if one was writing for example a utility,
to handle any table, regardless of its column names.
In this use case, you should simply not use the stem format for the return.
You should use the .directory format where there will be no conflicts, no need
to worry about a collision with a variable name.
Stems are great, if there is nothing else available. But, in ooRexx there is
something else available. If you are worried about stem tail names conflicting
with variable names, don't use a stem. Use a .directory object.
I suppose one could write the code with varnames which have been given a
hopefully unlikely-to-occur name prefix, and/or include code that tests that
there's no conflict between unknown column names and those vars.
It doesn't make sense to me, to spend 30 seconds of time trying to do that,
when you can just use a .directory object and be done with it. :-)
