Hi, the Table.aliased() method called on the Employees object returns an result type of Table<Employee>, but I would expect a new instance of the Employee class. Because of this, the alias does not provide column names. Where is the error?

    fun test() {
        val aliased = Employees.aliased("e") // A result type of Table<Employee>
        var employeeName = Employees.name // OK
        var aliasedName = aliased.name // Compilation error: Unresolved reference !!!
    }

The Employee class is defined by:

object Employees : Table<Employee>("employee") {
    val id = long("id").primaryKey().bindTo { it.id }
    val name = varchar("name").bindTo { it.name }
}
