Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start with the linked Stack Overflow example and review issue #1799, then determine whether OR and != joins have a concrete, agreed specification; done would require that scope to be settled before implementation.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature request non-equi joins

The case here be even more straightforward if joins are capable of OR operation as well.

  • TODO: Think about whether our joins can be extended. This would make it quite complete, I think.

Also think about support for !=, #1799.
