Re: Subselects open issue Nr. NEW

Sorry, I take back my gordian knot, I found it in my own brains ;-(
For a <=, <, >=, > a lexical ordering would be more intuitive,
since that is how a compound index would sort.

so (a, b) <= (c, d) would resolve to:
(a <= c) or ((a = c) and (b <= c))

What happens to !=~ ? Should also be _OR_ ed.
I guess that leaves us at a point of no go. Take it out ? *tear drops

I think it should say: an order has to be defined (lexical, vector lenght,
area size ..... )
