I've often wished for a way to do *, but make changes to the results
that a normal * would give you. The two operations I've wished for are
to either remove some fields from the list, or to rename some fields.
I suspect you could create a function that would do this. You wouldn't
want to just blindly operate on a CREATE VIEW command because of things like
SELECT a.*, b.blah FROM (SELECT 1,2,3) a, b
but I think it might be possible to get the raw data out of the parser
(the grammar certainly provides it). It would probably involve C code
though.
