While every coderef-based condition must return a valid C<ON> clause, it may
elect to additionally return a simplified join-free condition hashref when
-invoked as C<< $row_object->relationship >>, as opposed to
-C<< $rs->related_resultset('relationship') >>. In this case C<$row_object> is
+invoked as C<< $result->relationship >>, as opposed to

passed to the coderef as C<< $args->{self_rowobj} >>, so a user can do the
following:

$relationship_info->{cond}->({

+ self_alias => The alias of the invoking resultset ('me' in case of a result object),
foreign_alias => The alias of the to-be-joined resultset (often matches relname),
self_resultsource => The invocant's resultsource,
foreign_relname => The relationship name (does *not* always match foreign_alias),
- self_rowobj => The invocant itself in case of $row_obj->relationship
