I don't like shipping betas with broken pg_dump; that makes life
unreasonably difficult for beta testers, if we have to force another
initdb before release. So I put in a quick hack solution: don't print
the column alias list at all unless there is a table alias. This makes
the rule's FROM clause conform to ANSI syntax. If you actually did
write
create view foo as SELECT alias FROM table table (alias);
then it will dump as
create view foo as SELECT table.realcolname AS alias FROM table;
but there's no harm done. Better solution needed but I'll let Thomas
provide it.

And now, it's 4:30 PM AST and we are outta here ... right Marc?
