Hmm, I figured the two "parent" references do mean the same thing,
ie the immediately surrounding syntactic construct.  While I won't
fight hard about it, I don't see an advantage in naming the new
field differently.  We could make the comment be

        /* outer level's alias for this query */
 
This seems ok to me. 

 

if that helps any.
