The fact that someone felt the need to add that comment hints at a design mistake. Synthesizing symbols is weird, unnecessary and is probably a violation of the principle of least surprise.

Otherwise I think PRQL has some value. Nice work. I strongly suspect that if SQL looked more like this there would be a lot more people willing to use the query language directly and perhaps fewer that are compelled to bury it under shifting layers of fragile abstractions.
