Hm, so where's the difference to what we do now ? Apart from,
perhaps, that we separated displaying and backend handling.
(Well, not quite, as displaying still deals with column names
but it's a lot more robust now. It catches column name errors
and tells you about the valid columns in the log right next to
the error message.) Maintaining SQL right in the frontend code
proves painful (been there).

Hm, that *is* how Ian's editor works ?
