In my case, I sometimes generate "entity" classes from automatically
from the database. So, I am not typing them, but the field names on
some of my classes will be longer than they need to be.  Also, I only
have to use the AS when I am doing joins, which I don't do as often as
selects, inserts, and/or updates. So now I would have to type the long
redundant column name for those 3 types of queries, instead of saving
me from typing "AS" in the joins.
