Description
Currently, the SQL DSL expansion uses its own custom out-of-band way of assigning hierarchical names to the transforms. But Beam already has hierarchical transforms with names, and these are intended for use in APIs and UIs. We should see what the diff is between just using Beam's existing facilities and this SQL DSL "stage name" concept.
