Does renaming columns really happen a lot? Like, "let's rename
Employee_id to Associate_id as it's more politically correct. Well, sure
you'll have to change like a bazillion lines of code..."

I can see it as a one time thing for people who want to differentiate
between column name and the 10 character limitation of system column name.

BTW, the RFE has been out there since 2016
