In theory this could break some application that's expecting
"SELECT ..., true, ..." to return a column name of "bool"
rather than "?column?".  The risk of that being a problem in
practice seems rather low, though.  It certainly seems like a
wart that you get a type name for that but not for other sorts
of literals such as 1 or 2.4, so I'm okay with the change.
