The parser doesn't know about columns or table names.  It just passes
them along.  The code checks the indent and sets isRel if it matches
something in the range table.  Seems like it checks for column matches
in the range table first.  Looks OK:test=> create table test (test int);CREATEtest=> insert into test values (1);INSERT
1455701test=> select test from test; test ------    1(1 row)
