Well, it just means the type's equality operator returns true for these
two values -- I'm not sure it is wise to assume they are completely
interchangeable.

More generally, it makes sense to me that resolution of column
references is a property of the syntax of a statement, not something
derived from its semantics (e.g. the fact that we can infer for some
particular statement that two columns are equal).
