Notice that if you google "full disjunction" that the first link is
this project.

You won't find anyone to vouch for it because this is the first
implementation of full disjunctions in any database. That doesn't
mean it isn't useful- it means no one is using it because it hasn't
existed until now.

This is the point where one needs to decide whether PostgreSQL is a
copier of features from other databases or whether it can lead with a
few unique features of its own.
