I don't think I agree that optimization and implementation effort (which is
a direct consequence of the complexity introduced by more expressive query
forms such as sub-selects) should *not* be a factor.  In fact, it is mostly
my concern in this regard that motivates me to suggest that we consider a
spectrum of sub-select features to include.
