table_name syntax

[Patrick Dowler]

I agree completely...  But, there has always been a user case or 
requirement that someone should be able to implement a tap service 
without having to modify incoming ADQL into internal SQL. Personally, I 
think that ship sailed a long time ago and it would be crazy to 
implement a completely pass-through tap service that just executed 
whatever ADQL the user provided...

But yeah, *I* would expose foo..bar but someone might want to :-)
