[Chameleon] Output Fields and Aliases

[Tyler Mitchell]

Hi Abe,
We talked about it, I filed a bug about it, but it's still marked as 
futrue.  So I'm assuming there is no support for result_fields built in.

I like your idea of having aliases too.

I started to do the same as you are proposing and would gladly work 
together to see it happen.  We need this function too.

Here's the boog:
