Re: [hibernate-dev] 6.0 - ResultTransformer

Hmmm there is an interesting aspect to Tuple + TupleTransformer.. both expect to get the root selection aliases and would naturally expect those to match in length to the values to transform. Basically only one can "consume" the aliases. I think that because Tuple is a "higher precedence" (it defines the result type) it ought to win that battle. But then that is inconsistent for TupleTransformer. IMO either we let Tuple consume the aliases or we disallow this combo.
