+ # window simply slides further in. This means that when we count somewhere
+ # in the middle, we got to make sure that everything in the join chain is an
+ # actual inner join, otherwise the count will come back with unpredictable
+ # results (a resultset may be generated with _some_ rows regardless of if
+ # the relation which the $rs currently selects has rows or not). E.g.
+ # $artist_rs->cds->count - normally generates:
+ # SELECT COUNT( * ) FROM artist me LEFT JOIN cd cds ON cds.artist = me.artistid
+ # which actually returns the number of artists * (number of cds || 1)
+ #
+ # So what we do here is crawl {from}, determine if the current alias is at
+ # the top of the stack, and if not - make sure the chain is inner-joined down
+ # to the root.
