Thanks. The documentation on that methods says:

return a new select() construct with the given FROM expression applied
to its list of FROM objects.

For me this means that the old froms are replaced and not extended. I
would suggest to replace "applied to" with "appended to" or "merged
into". This would make it clearer to me.

Looking at the source, select_from really just calls append_from on the
copied select.
