     10    Rewrite sqlglot AST to merge derived tables into the outer query.
     11
     12    This also merges CTEs if they are selected from only once.
     13
     14    Example:
     15        >>> import sqlglot
     16        >>> expression = sqlglot.parse_one("SELECT a FROM (SELECT x.a FROM x) CROSS JOIN y")
     17        >>> merge_subqueries(expression).sql()
     18        'SELECT x.a FROM x CROSS JOIN y'
     19
     20    If `leave_tables_isolated` is True, this will not merge inner queries into outer
     21    queries if it would result in multiple table selects in a single query:
     22        >>> expression = sqlglot.parse_one("SELECT a FROM (SELECT x.a FROM x) CROSS JOIN y")
     23        >>> merge_subqueries(expression, leave_tables_isolated=True).sql()
     24        'SELECT a FROM (SELECT x.a FROM x) CROSS JOIN y'
