Why mysql do not allow alias for tables in delete from clause.
I am using MySQL 5.0.18-standard and the following statement gives an error:

delete form table1 t
where t.somefiled = 1;

I want to use table alias for more complicated where clause than the one in the example (it does includes the table I am deleting from and beleave me there is no other way to do it without alias). But I can not because it is not supported. Why something so simple is not supported?!
