But, as Calum pointed out in:

   http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2005/09/94348.php

I.e. the "first_name" column may be 2 for
customers, and 3 for products.  Hence, this would
have to be qualified with the table or record name, e.g.

   customers::first_name
   products::first_name

and this would lead to the readability problem which
