I've gotten interested again in the issue of row comparisons, eg
	(a, b, c) >= (1, 2, 3)
We've discussed this before, the most comprehensive thread being
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-performance/2004-07/msg00188.php
but nothing's gotten done.  Unless someone's already working on this
I think I will take it up.

Can someone explain to me how:

(a, b) < (1, 2)

is different to

a < 1 and b < 2

?

Chris
