Hmm. We don't have support for selecting from functions at all, yet, and
I'm not 100% sure whether SQL::Abstract will handle it as-is (anyone?).

And of course there's the lack of "no table" support.

I think my main target for 0.04 will be to make the core truly
resultset-oriented - so a table class becomes effectively a special case
against a resultset of "SELECT * FROM table". Features like this, selecting
on aggregates, etc. etc. should fall out quite easily from there, I hope.
