"""
demonstration of an obscure edge case / bug(?) in sqlalchemy where
adding a from_self() to a query that's already been aliased once and
contains a labeled literal will fail.
summary
1 - from_self
2 - add a non-column entity like count()
3 - another from_self fails
the bug is introduced in r6402, which has the commit message:
- query.from_self(), query.union(), others which do a
"SELECT * from (SELECT...)" type of nesting will do
a better job translating column expressions within the subquery
to the columns clause of the outer query. This is
potentially backwards incompatible with 0.5, in that this
may break queries with literal expressions that do not have labels
applied (i.e. literal('foo'), etc.)
