oid's in views.

CREATE VIEW testview AS SELECT test.oid, tull FROM test;
ERROR:  Attribute 'oid' has a name conflict       Name matches an existing system attribute

I think this should be allowed, because if you do:
CREATE VIEW testview AS SELECT tull FROM test;

SELECT oid, tull FROM testview;

The oid column will always be blank. The oid column can never be used for anything usefull.

There are many workarounds to this problem - and I appreciate that altering this behaviour might be contradictory to
somedesign philosophy you may have. Just my comment that's all!
