Description
It can come in handy to have the ability to fully replace a table without any disruption or changes for those issuing queries. If there was support to add/remove (especially atomically add and remove) aliases from tables, it would be easy to reconstruct a table with a new set of configurations, or bootstrapped in a different way than the original table, and then "swap" the table alias to the new table.
Ex. making an incompatible schema or table spec change
