Alias to column names?

[Basem Emara]

Is there a way to give alias names to column names? I'd really like to
define the column name aliases at the top of XML file, then use those
alias names in parameter maps and inline result maps. It's a real pain
when database field name changes (or db migration) when I have to dig
thru all the inlines and maps. This way, I can just change the alias
section at the top. Can this be done?
