//! Lowering is the process of transforming a `HirRelationExpr`
//! into a `MirRelationExpr`.
//!
//! The most crucial part of lowering is decorrelation; i.e.: rewriting a
//! `HirScalarExpr` that may contain subqueries (e.g. `SELECT` or `EXISTS`)
//! with instances of `MirScalarExpr` that contain none of these.
//!
//! Informally, a subquery should be viewed as a query that is executed in
//! the context of some outer relation, for each row of that relation. The
//! subqueries often contain references to the columns of the outer
//! relation.
//!
//! The transformation we perform maintains an `outer` relation and then
//! traverses the relation expression that may contain references to those
//! outer columns. As subqueries are discovered, the current relation
//! expression is recast as the outer expression until such a point as the
//! scalar expression's evaluation can be determined and appended to each
//! row of the previously outer relation.
//!
//! It is important that the outer columns (the initial columns) act as keys
//! for all nested computation. When counts or other aggregations are
//! performed, they should include not only the indicated keys but also all
//! of the outer columns.
//!
//! The decorrelation transformation is initialized with an empty outer
//! relation, but it seems entirely appropriate to decorrelate queries that
//! contain "holes" from prepared statements, as if the query was a subquery
//! against a relation containing the assignments of values to those holes.

    // If the inner expression is sufficiently simple, it is safe to apply it
    // *directly* to outer, rather than applying it to the distinctified key
    // (see below).
    //
    // As an example, consider the following two queries:
    //
    //     CREATE TABLE t (a int, b int);
    //     SELECT a, series FROM t, generate_series(1, t.b) series;
    //

    //
    //     %0 =
    //     | Get t
    //     | FlatMap generate_series(1, #1)

    //
    //    %0 =
    //    | Get t
    //
    //    %1 =
    //    | Get t
    //    | Distinct group=(#1)
    //    | FlatMap generate_series(1, #0)
    //
    //    %2 =
    //    | LeftJoin %1 %2 (= #1 #2)
    //
    // There is a tradeoff here: the simple plan is stateless, but the non-
    // simple plan may do (much) less computation if there are only a few
    // distinct values of `t.b`.
    //
    // We apply a very simple heuristic here and take the simple path if `inner`
    // contains only maps, filters, projections, and calls to table functions.
    // The intuition is that straightforward usage of table functions should
    // take the simple path, while everything else should not. (In theory we
