There are admittedly rare conditions where they are not.  I encountered 
these in Oracle classes.  I would have to look up the notebooks for 
examples, but there are legitimate reasons for joins which do not use 
exact equality conditions.  But all you need to do is add an optional 
extra parameter which is the operation.
