That seems like a good idea; it won't help tell the difference between
two subqueries at the same level, but in a lot of practical cases it
would tell you what you needed to know, and it won't confuse a novice.

I like the "... in subquery", "... in sub-subquery", etc wording.

BTW, Jan was complaining that a number of the regress tests now "fail"
because they provoke this message.  Should we just update the expected
outputs, or should we change the tests not to use the feature?
