Oracle allows to assign an alias to a table in an update-statement like

update T x
   set x.col = .....

in my eyes thats clear syntax.

so there is a better way.
I would prefer that syntax. Sqlite should have implemented that.

It is not ambiguous when you know how SQL works and it's the only
standard way of doing such things.
