    "Process NATURAL and USING joins according to SQL:2003".
    
    * Some of the main problems fixed by the patch:
      - in "select *" queries the * expanded correctly according to
        ANSI for arbitrary natural/using joins
      - natural/using joins are correctly transformed into JOIN ... ON
        for any number/nesting of the joins.
      - column references are correctly resolved against natural joins
        of any nesting and combined with arbitrary other joins.
    
    * This patch also contains a fix for name resolution of items
      inside the ON condition of JOIN ... ON - in this case items must
      be resolved only against the JOIN operands. To support such
      'local' name resolution, the patch introduces a stack of
      name resolution contexts used at parse time.
    
    NOTICE:
    - This patch is not complete in the sense that
      - there are 2 test cases that still do not pass -
        one in join.test, one in select.test. Both are marked
        with a comment "TODO: WL#2486".
      - it does not include a new test specific for the task
