Description

Now that we have joins in Python, it's very easy to end up with an error about ambiguous references because almost everything has the default alias `?table?`. In most cases we can do a pretty good job guessing the alias (e.g., the filename when returning from a read function).

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating Python dataframe creation and existing alias handling, then clarify which nameless-dataframe cases should receive inferred aliases and add tests showing that joins no longer produce ambiguous-reference errors.
