/**
 * A comprehensive collector for all ColumnReference instances in SQL query structures.
 *
 * This collector extends beyond the capabilities of SelectableColumnCollector by traversing
 * CTE internal queries, subqueries, and all nested SQL components to collect every column
 * reference instance in the query tree. It's specifically designed for transformation
 * scenarios where all column references need to be identified and potentially modified.
 *
 * ## Key Differences from SelectableColumnCollector
 *
 * | Feature | SelectableColumnCollector | ColumnReferenceCollector |
 * |---------|---------------------------|---------------------------|
 * | CTE Internal Scanning | ❌ Skipped | ✅ Included |
 * | Subquery Traversal | ❌ Limited | ✅ Comprehensive |
 * | Deduplication | ✅ Yes | ❌ No (preserves all instances) |
 * | Use Case | Column selection analysis | Column reference transformation |
 *
 * ## Supported Query Types
 *
 * - **SimpleSelectQuery**: Standard SELECT statements with all clauses
 * - **BinarySelectQuery**: UNION, INTERSECT, EXCEPT operations
 * - **Nested CTEs**: WITH clauses and their internal queries
 * - **Subqueries**: All subquery types in FROM, WHERE, SELECT clauses
 * - **Complex Expressions**: CASE, functions, binary operations, etc.
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * import { ColumnReferenceCollector, SelectQueryParser } from 'rawsql-ts';
 *
 * const sql = `
 *   WITH user_data AS (
 *     SELECT id, name FROM users WHERE status = 'active'
 *   ),
 *   order_summary AS (
 *     SELECT user_data.id, COUNT(*) as order_count
 *     FROM user_data
 *     JOIN orders ON user_data.id = orders.user_id
 *     GROUP BY user_data.id
 *   )
 *   SELECT * FROM order_summary
 * `;
 *
 * const query = SelectQueryParser.parse(sql);
 * const collector = new ColumnReferenceCollector();
 * const columnRefs = collector.collect(query);
 *
 * console.log(`Found ${columnRefs.length} column references:`);
 * columnRefs.forEach(ref => {
 *   const tableName = ref.namespaces?.[0]?.name || 'NO_TABLE';
 *   console.log(`- ${tableName}.${ref.column.name}`);
 * });
 *
 * // Output includes references from:
 * // - CTE definitions: users.id, users.name, users.status
 * // - Main query: user_data.id, orders.user_id, etc.
 * ```
 *
 * @example
 * ```typescript
 * // Use for column reference transformation
 * const columnRefs = collector.collect(query);
 *
 * // Update all references to 'old_table' to 'new_table'
 * columnRefs.forEach(ref => {
 *   if (ref.namespaces?.[0]?.name === 'old_table') {
 *     ref.namespaces[0].name = 'new_table';
 *   }
 * });
 * ```

     * Collects all ColumnReference instances from the given SQL query component.
     *
     * This method performs a comprehensive traversal of the entire query structure,
     * including CTE definitions, subqueries, and all expression types to collect
     * every ColumnReference instance. The returned references are actual instances
     * from the query tree, allowing for direct modification.
     *
     * @param query - The SQL query component to analyze. Can be SimpleSelectQuery, BinarySelectQuery, or any SqlComponent.
     * @returns An array of all ColumnReference instances found in the query. Each reference maintains its original object identity for modification purposes.
     *
     * @example
     * ```typescript
     * const collector = new ColumnReferenceCollector();
     * const columnRefs = collector.collect(query);
     *
     * // Analyze collected references
     * const tableReferences = new Map<string, number>();
     * columnRefs.forEach(ref => {
     *   const tableName = ref.namespaces?.[0]?.name || 'unqualified';
     *   tableReferences.set(tableName, (tableReferences.get(tableName) || 0) + 1);
     * });
     *
     * console.log('Table reference counts:', tableReferences);
     * ```
     *
     * @example
     * ```typescript
     * // Transform references during collection
     * const columnRefs = collector.collect(query);
     *
     * // Replace all references to 'old_schema.table' with 'new_schema.table'
     * columnRefs.forEach(ref => {
     *   if (ref.namespaces?.length === 2 &&
     *       ref.namespaces[0].name === 'old_schema' &&
     *       ref.namespaces[1].name === 'table') {
     *     ref.namespaces[0].name = 'new_schema';
     *   }
     * });
