Starting a re-write of the DSL, to be followed by the compiler.
Flip around field/table aliases, do joins a bit differently. They're my main aims at the moment! I'll also add a preprocessor for the compiler to massage it into a nicer form there. I discovered that joins can be done with a pretty sweet syntax in SQL: (tableA LEFT JOIN tableB) RIGHT JOIN tableC This is pretty much perfect for my purposes. Flipping alias maps just makes more sense and removes a whole bunch of `flip-map` calls that would be unnecessary if the aliases were the other way around. The user-facing side of the DSL will be left unchanged, though. The user provides an `{old-name new-name}` map and internally we convert that into `{new-name old-name}`. Like magic. I'm also adding a bunch more tests. Hopefully that will make things more likely to work for long periods of time. Peace out!
