Negating inputs (set complement) turns the join's `AND` into a `NOR`, as Tetris exploits.

The worst case bounds don't tighten over (stateless/streaming) WCOJ's, but much real world data has far smaller box certificates.

One thing I didn't see is whether Dovetail join allows recursive queries (i.e., arbitrary datalog with a designated output relation, and the user having no concern about what the engine does with all the intermediate relations mentioned in the bundle of horn clauses that make up this datalog query).

Do you happen to know if it supports such queries?
