/**
  Symbolic slice numbers into JOIN's arrays ref_items, tmp_fields and

  See also the comments on JOIN::ref_items.
*/
enum {
  /**
     The slice which is used during evaluation of expressions; Item_ref::ref
     points there. This is the only slice that is not allocated on the heap;
     it always points to query_block->base_ref_items.
 
     If we have a simple query (no temporary tables or GROUP BY needed),
     this slice always contains the base slice, i.e., the actual Items used
     in the original query.
 
     However, if we have temporary tables, there are cases where we need to
     swap out those Items, because they refer to Fields that are no longer in
     use. As a simple case, consider
 
       SELECT REVERSE(t1), COUNT(*) FROM t1 GROUP BY REVERSE(t1);
 
     Assuming no index on t1, this will require creating a temporary table
     consisting only of REVERSE(t1), and then sorting it before grouping.
     During execution of the query creating the temporary table, we will
     have an Item_func_reverse pointing to a Field for t1, and the result of
     this will be stored in the temporary table "tmp". However, when reading
     from "tmp", it would be wrong to use that Item_func_reverse, as the Field
     no longer exists. Thus, we create a slice (in REF_SLICE_TMP1) with new Item
     pointers, where Item_func_reverse is replaced by an Item_field that reads
     from the right field in the temporary table. Similar logic applies for
     windowing functions etc.; see below.
 
     In such cases, the pointers in this slice are _overwritten_ (using memcpy)
     by e.g. REF_SLICE_TMP1 for as long as we read from the temporary table.
     Switch_ref_item_slice provides an encapsulation of the overwriting,
     and the optimizer stores a copy of the original Item pointers in the
     REF_SLICE_SAVED_BASE slice so that it is possible to copy them back
     when we are done.
 
     @todo It would probably be better to store the active slice index in
