Referral by column names in Sheets QUERY

[brew-guy]

If your feature has not been requested, please provide all of the following:

A short description of the request:
The Sheets QUERY documentation states that the query string should be written in . The API Query Language in turn indicates that column names can be used straight up in queries like "select name where salary > 700".

It doesn't seem to hold true when used with the QUERY function, though, as any attempt (e.g. "select name where 'salary' > 700") will result in a NO_COLUMN error in Sheets.

What is the purpose of this new feature?
It would make the querying in Sheets more legible if you rely on keeping your queries resilient because the current workarounds require string concatenation with match() lookups and what not.

What existing APIs would this affect?
Sheets

What existing data does this use?
None
