Description

Make python binding support SQL like

table = session.sql(
    "SELECT c.customer_id, c.name, dim.segment "
    "FROM retail.sales.customers AS c "
    "JOIN crm.dim.customers_dim AS dim "
    "  ON c.customer_id = dim.customer_id"
)

Research direction

Start by tracing the Python binding's session entry point and how namespace-qualified table names are currently handled. Completion is support for the shown session.sql query joining retail.sales.customers with crm.dim.customers_dim; the issue names no files or tests to run.
