 Hi,

 I am extending the WP_Meta_Query class for my own uses with custom tables
 that have the same structure as meta tables. It is an incredibly useful
 class for this. However the fact that the table alias prefix {{{mt}}} on
 line 535 is hard coded forces me to do awkward and complex string replaces
 if I want to use my extensions alongside built in meta queries.

 I think changing the prefix from being hard coded to a property/function
 of the meta query object would make this class much more versatile for
 plugin developers.
