To allow queries like SELECT * FROM (VALUES ($1, $2), ($3, $4)) V (name, value)

@Suor: Thanks!

I'm not so sure about the "str" prefix in _strAlias indicating that it's a function... also you have to duplicate the ._alias logic... What if we put the responsibility on the Statement to be able to stringify itself as a nested expression (Statement._toNestedString()) and split out the current alias stringify to its own method (_aliasToString()) so you can re-use it? See #50 for an proposed implementation...
