I've lost track --- is this different from the _DROP_COLUMN_HACK__
code that's already in CVS?  I really really didn't like that
implementation :-(, but I forget what other methods were being
discussed.

That would be a problem --- rule dumping depends on that code to
produce correct aliases, so making it work is not optional.
